so i'm RGB modding a console and i don't have an oscilloscope but from a multimeter i can read about 2.9V peak on video outputs, the video works fine but is a bit bloomy on my PVM (makes the OSD dark even), and i can't find any concrete info online if that'll damage the PVM
seems to depend on who you ask, some people say even up to 5V won't damage any monitor, even though peak to peak should be about 1V (peaking about 0.7V from ground), i'm trying to make a voltage divider on the output of the amp but all i managed to do was make the image ghostier
heeeeeyyyy, read up a bit more on video signals and made a resistor replacement, now the video is perfect!
the OSD is now at around the same level, whereas before it was much darker compared to the sms signal
best care scenario, power delivery or clock issues
worst case scenario, the VDP or the CPU (or both) are dead
i can't check any without an oscilloscope
oh my god okay thank goodness
i couldn't find anything wrong but i reflowed solder to the vdp, cleaned up the board and better insulated all my work
it's not dead!
turned it on the next day and it appears dead.. sometimes there's garbage on the screen and a constant tone
don't think i can repair with without a second master system for parts
i got so excited about it too.. but looks like yesterday just everything decided to break around me
