And Yet Another Problem

Post by Erlx »

Ok, so my new screen finally arrived and wired everything up to the mini according to Ben's book and the screen back light turns on but there is no picture. The buttons work indicating that at least the screen is not broken. But ether I am just not getting any video or sound, the system is not getting powered right, or I jacked the system up. The only thing I can think of that could of gone wrong is that something happened to the caps when I was moving them. Can they get too hot while soldering? Iv checked and rechecked the wiring and it looks right. If anyone else has had this problem or just knows how to fix it I would be much obliged to know.

Is it a black screen or a white screen? Black means it's getting no signal from the game system, white means your ground isn't connected right.

Brian I love you. You were right. Ben has it backwards in his book. (I wonder why?)
