Don't think I should really need to do this, but I have been unable to get assistance otherwise. If you can get me to get the color going on this, you can earn $5 Paypal.....please send me a PM if you are interested & I'll let you know if you can be the recipient. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

this is kind of frustrating, I'm using the book, but the the back of my 4 x 4 square pcb is different than the one shown in the book. I'm trying to locate the 'Y' spot to solder to ? Any help will be appreciated. I took a guess, but I'd like to be more sure, to make sure I doin't ruin the board. Thanks.

Hi, Here is what I'm getting below. Everything is showing up in B & W. Also it is scrolling, and then dissappears after a few seconds. I'm trying to use the a/v mod from the longhorne engineer .... HELP

Some minor but positive news to report. I tried a couple of different TV's and on 2 of 3 there is no scrolling! But i'm still having an issue with only getting black and white. So any help will bwpe greatly appreciated!

Anyone? I'd really like to to get color going on this project...

*bump*

What kind of TV's are you using? old school CRT or modern LCD types? Also, I cant see it well, but on the lower left "z" connection, is it supposed to be a bridged connection between those two points or the one on the top? Double check all your points. I dont see some of the connections made, "w" for example.

thank for getting back to me - much appreciated

I'm using an newer LCD TV
I do not believe that the lower left ground is bridged, but I can certainly double check it
I believe that the W spot is if you have a board with the extra 8 pin chip, but that isn't the case for me.
I can also double check my connections, of course. I am getting a pictur, but only in B&W

Thanks

i'm not looking for any reward or anything (not that I would turn it away I suppose)
but my best guess would be that you are missing the chroma value... a quick search pulled up another post where someone described a similar problem and posted a few pictures, including a picture indicating which spot he was missing and it seems worth taking a look at.

(its about 10 pictures down or so with a b&w picture - it appears as though you are not using a connection at that same point - perhaps you are missing that same connection)

good luck!

bit of a bump, i know, but I think I remember hearing that Ben's Av mod doesn't work on some screens.
