TG-16 wrong colors?!
« on: October 02, 2013, 08:33:04 PM »
Today I hooked up my TG-16 (PAL, has a rgb mod to a scart socket done by a skilled friend a few years ago) and was shocked... System booted, there was sound, but colors were all wrong. It seems like yellow is red etc. Tried with another (original) av-cable/tv, same result. So it's not the scart socket, the picture is "wrong" already in the chip, right? Is there a known reason for this (something that is easily fixed) the console worked like a charm only 2 weeks ago :(

have you had the din socket replaced on the tg16 or is the rgb cable coming from the inside of the tg16 , only asking as it sounds like the red, green and blue might be soldered the wrong way around.

A RGB scart socket has been installed on the right side of the case. The original socket is still there. The unit has been running great for about a year after the mod, so the wires are correctly soldered (originally), but of course it could be that something has been broken loose inside the case. I haven't opened the case yet. I hope it's indeed something wrong with the wires and not the chip(s). The console works ok (I can play the games, there's sound, fo freezing), but the colors are wrong.

open the scart socket first have look if any of the wires have come off and are touching.

The problem is, the colors are wrong also from the standard av-socket ...

Did you check the knobs on your TV?  I'd kind of laugh if your TV settings got gimped and the tint is just wacked out.



Really though, I'd check and see if something inside has come loose.   If it worked fine last time you tried it and it suddenly just went stupid on you, you might have popped something when you shoved the cable into the socket.
