Hi,
I have a PAL c128 that outputs its video signal Black and White. I checked/tried the followng things, whitout success:
- Checked the continuity of the trace from pin 6 in the video connector to the R/C modulator color output.
- Checked the continuity of the trace from the R/C modulator color input to the Pin 16 of the 8566R3.
- Replaced the 8566R3 with another one i got from ebay.
- Replaced the R/F modulator with this little board: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/joo55sLQ
- Replaced C62, C63 and C88 electrolitic capacitors with new ones. (the ones inside the 8566 metal case)
- Tried do adjust the C20 rotating it a little bit.
After all this, the image is still B/W :(. I'm getting out of ideas... any suggestion on the possible cause?
Thanks!
P.D: i know it's unrelated, but i also replaced the original power supply with a custom new one made with a 5V power supply and a 9V transformer, both exceeding the required amperages.
This is not the case. All the equipment i'm using is PAL, but anyway, thanks for your answer, Brewskii.
Update: I've also tried to replace the 8701 IC that generates the oDot and oCOLOR signals for the VIC chip. No luck, it's still B/W.
