A note before i start explaining: I have not taken apart the Intec screen yet!
Ok, so i got my new intec screen pad this morning, i plug it in to the wall socket, plug it into the back of my ps2, turn on the ps2...
.. the screen is in black and white, no colour whatso ever. Ive tried changed the brightness/colour knobs but the colour one doesn NOTHING.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Intec screen pad..black and white?!

Re: Intec screen pad..black and white?!
Ah you're based in the UK like myself.
Is the screen you mention PAL (i.e. bought in the UK) and the console you're using NTSC (i.e. imported from the US/Jap)? Are you using composite signal?
If all this is true, then it'll be because the screen can't handle the NTSC signal (it give this B&W effect).
If you were to switch to RGB signal, or have a console/screen from the same region you wouldn't have this issue.
That's in my experience anyway. I imported a PS1 screen to avoid this whilst making my SNES portable.

No, i got the screen imported from the US. Is there a way of sorting this out?
