Problems.....

Post by snes »

ok i guess my snesp isnt going TOO well. im having problems with video(i think the sound works). so far ive done the led mod to the screen and i am currently trying to use the wall adapter untill i get some batteries.

when it actualy IS working(sorta) its black and white realy distorted and upside down(just my luck eh?)

im currently trying to use composite video.

heres what is acomplished so far.
so far ive got a controller wired to the snes.
ive got a wire tying the grounds together
a wire giving the sness +5
a wire going from the spot for composite video to the wire where it goes in on the screen. (the solder pad on the back(or is it front) of the screen for composite video ripped off (OOPS)(thats not my problem is it?)

any help troubleshooting is appreciated

So you're screen is Black and While and very distorted? Well then that means one of two things. One is that you need to properly shield or ground the video. Two is that you are trying to connect an NTSC to PAL, either the system or screen being not compatible will cause this. To fix the latter, you'll have to figure out which is off and then using the video mod at gamesx.com change it to fit with the other, so both are PAL or NTSC.

I hope this helps you.
