PCE Broken Scart Mod

[Ergot_Cholera]

Is that hot glue or resin holding the PS AV socket to the board? The amp looks like it has just transistors and is missing the caps and resistors.

No idea, its clear up close though.

Yes it's the old mmmonkey transistor-only amp. Normally it should work but I heard it can damage the TV.

[Lorfarius]

Damn! I've tried it on 3 TVs so far

I know somebody in Germany who should be able to fix your console. He did a recap on my Turbo Duo and is really nuts for everything PCE and SNES hardware/modding wise.. Let me know via PM if you'd like to get in touch with him.

I am in the UK and can probably RGB mod this for you using THS7314 based amp. I do them quite regularly and all work perfectly. I could keep the PS AV socket and connect the new amp to this so you can use your PS scart cable or remove it and replace it with a din 8 socket which will need a custom made scart cable.
 The only issue I have is whether the PS AV socket is stuck to the board with resin as this may be hard to remove. Does the substance feel slightly rubbery when you press it or is it hard?

it looks like hot glue to me.  especially in the last picture.  you can see on a couple of the nearby caps that they have some glue on them.

Drakon would be proud.

Thank you! It feels hard to touch. Sounds like a new amp is the best way forward?

[deubeul]

It is. And the modder shoul be able to fix it if the amp is not the only problem.
And don't worry for your TVs, I played hours with the same amp, I just heards the output voltage of this amp are higher than Scart's standards and COULD damage some TVs.

this is what should be in that cable
simply adding a 75ohm to ground from each transistor output should make it work with the caps in the cable
