Well it's exactly the same screen as the official Psone LCD you have... But it is branded Zenith instead and it is a NTSC one...

Here is a picture of the inside I found on Dealextreme forum :

Yes this screen takes only 60Hz NTSC

Yes I suppose...
I bought my ntsc screen from this seller, shipped in 10 days to France and cost me 60€ shipping included. I think it's a good price...

Well, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video

What distinguishes S-Video from these better component-video schemes is that S-Video carries the color information as one signal. This means that the color has to be encoded in some way, and as such, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM signals are all ...

To my knowledge, svideo mod won't help you displaying 60Hz to your PAL psone screen ...

you're talking about s-video mod or another mod ?

So you bought a Gamecube S-video cable, cut the svideo connector and connected the wires to the screen ? or did you solder directly from the gamecube board ? Can you show us a picture of your mod ?

Just thought about something : I have a NTSC screen, and when I connect a PAL 50hz signal the picture ...

For composite (and svideo) sound you need to connect the L and R audio here :

the other audio input (slot 2 pin 9 and 10) are for RGB mode audio input.

I suppose no colors means the Chroma input is not working.

What ...

Yes it should work !

Ok i just found out the problem. I was using DB9 connectors to connect the genesis to the screen, and I had to solder a wire from the metallic part of the db9 connector to the ground and no buzzing sound at all. By the way I removed the small power board of the zenith, and the screen works fine ...

So I tried a thicker wire for the ground but no changes.
I tried to connect only audio and removing R,G,B, Sync, +5v and Ground and the sound was perfect...
I reconnected only the R, G and B and once again it was buzzing...

Then I tried to remove a big capacitor that was soldered on the zenith ...

I have connected the ground of the genesis 3 to the ground of the lcd screen.
But yes it is a thin wire, I will try with a ticker one.
I think about something, during my tests, the genesis 3 and the screen each had their own power supply. Could this be the cause ? Maybe the problem will disappear ...

I just tried that but I have no sound at all. It seems that when you connect something in RGB, the screen is not using the composite audio in.
Other ideas ?

Thanks

Hi everybody, I have a small problem and I hope you will help me.
I connected a genesis 3 to a Zenith LCD Screens.
I did the rgb mod to the genesis 3 with the resistance and capacitor and the picture is great !!
But I can't say the same about the sound.
The sound is buzzing all the time and it seems ...
