heres the circuit


as spec'd it should push 0.9V to 1.1V of luma into a 75ohm load.
now i suspect his tv is not providing a 75ohm load.
if he had a meter we could find out.
if his tv is 100ohm he will need another 25-30 ohms added to the luma line. (most likely)
it could also not like DC coupled luma (unlikely as most DVD players use DC coupling)

I might be an a-hole, but at least my work is of a professional standard.
Then show it, bucko.

Yeah thesteve is the man.  Guess that rules out bad modding.

Its my console thesteve worked on his work is top notch we think it might be some unknown compatibility as the mod is working and it shows graphics on the y input in black and white with composite so its able to handle the 240p over component. So he think we could make a pass through cord of some kind if im correct in that's what hes thinking. Its just hard as i have no electronic knowledge whats so ever in this kind of work. I plan on taking a class at the college here and also a Cisco class after December.

Sorry, but I think that is rubbish. I have NEVER used hot glue in any of the modifications I've done, and I have NEVER had a single solder joint or plug/socket come loose.

As far as I'm concerned, only cowboys use glue.
Now where have a I read this before, hmmm...

What other forums are you on?

Steve is da man? Wrong, steve is a rough-riding cowboy if you ask me!!! All that damn glue he splatters everywhere! THAT'S why his mod isn't working right now!! Damn cowboys!!!!!! ;)

I just had this vision of steve riding a donkey, caulking guns akimbo hooked up to air compressors and a laser sight, gluing turbo's from 300 yards away. Hewiston's standing not far away shaking his fist at him :)

it was under powered and needs a resister added i believe is what he said and to make sure it works when i get it back he would put a pot on it so i can adjust it to make sure it works.

specifically the matching resistor i used 75ohm 1VPP is too much resistance for his TV input.
in studying other devices, i found there is no standard for luma level (devices running anywhere from 0.7VPP to 2.3VPP)
im adding a pot to allow adjustment from 0.5VPP to 2VPP

its back at my place
the chroma drive transistors got damaged during the testing i had 8bit do on his end.
i replaced the transistors restoring color.
i bypassed R14 bumping luma up to 1.8V
this caused a slight loss of detal

the pots to make it adjustable are not here yet
