My retro duo snesp EDIT: INVERTED COLORS!?!

[themadhacker]

well, I have finally got pictures of the screen. I did not test rgb with y genesis, but used composite. same situation as before. It is definitely the screen I unhooked the gensis, and turned up the volume, and the gren volume bar was dark purple instead.

Sonic has turned into his evil brother shadow... Is your screen ribbon cable loose?

I've re-connected it several times, with nothing but the same crap happening. but I suppose it i worth trying again.

It's not the screen itself, it's your power supply.

1) Try +5V to pin 12 (It looks like you've done this already)
2) What battery/power source are you using? Specs? Any circuits in between? I know the zenith screens have a power circuit board, get rid of that if you're still using it.

well, none of my n64p's have worked, other than the first one, and then tonight, I set my n64p on a big sheet of paper (like somebody reccommended in F42) and it WORKED! I have thought of everything possible, yet, none of it has worked for you...

He already tried 5v to pin 12, kurt_.

[themadhacker]

I got rid of the power board, am using the zenith power adapter, and as drue said, I connected 5v to pin 12.

I tried reconnecting it several more times, then somehow the backlight stopped working. I was going to LED mod it anyway, but not if the whole screen doesn't work. I am willing to believe that I seriously have a curse on me, because despite connecting everything as he pinouts show, nothing ever seems to work right. The same curse applies to the failed famiclam, the genesis laptop ( didn't post about it), and several other things.

I'm pretty sure the 5v to pin 12 is only if you're using RGB.

I'm pretty sure the 5v to pin 12 is only if you're using RGB.

that is 100% correct.

imma read back over all and see if i can figure anything out... will edit this post in a few...

Try batteries. I have a feeling you might be running the power too high. Or at least measure the voltage while running.

[lovablechevy]

a thought just popped in my head. is the screen ntsc or pal...?

[themadhacker]

Well, I'll try without the 5v connected to pin 12.

And the screen came from california. it is ntsc.

[themadhacker]

uncnnecting the 5v from pin 12 did nothing.

And just so you know, I'm not spending one more damn sent on this project. $200+ is way too much to spend. unless somebody can help me figure this out, the project is dead.

[Kurt_]

Try batteries.

[themadhacker]

Ok, but I can't find my 7.2v NICD anywhere. It will be a while before I can test it.

Don't give up hope dude, aside from the inverted colours the picture is perfectly intact. There's a high chance you might stumble on the solution and get your colour back.
