Override/Bypass Rgb Potentiometers #342
Comments
You can see where the traces are supposed to lead, and those connections should be bridged properly. |
I believe no major damage was made, except a bit too much heat and the trace to the leftmost smd was raised.
I will check the connections properly.
Any advice?
Is there any info I can get that provides info on what each smd color it is?
Thanks.

Just a quick follow-up. After some crazy testing with jumper cables and some patience (and connecting a missing ground wire on SCART connector), I got a picture: And then made the change permanent: I am not sure if the image is the absolute best, as I hand-made the RGB cable with cables I had lying around. In the power bar and backdrop there's a bit of a mosaic, but I am not sure that is supposed to look like that. Same thing happens with the health bars in Street Fighter II. My soldering isn't the best, but I made it work! Thanks @ramapcsx2 for making our childhood companions live a happy life in these modern times! |
Hi people!
For the sake of brevity, let's correctly assume I made a bad job removing the potentiometers, as probably the soldering iron was way too hot. Now it's only used at the minimum temperature.
So, blackened traces and I believe the bridging will not work, as the damage was severe, in my opinion.
Can I make a connection directly from the Rgb pins in P11 to R55, R56, R57? I could use the underside of the board to do so.
Sorry for submitting something akin to tech support and not an issue.
A schematic could help me, but I was not able to find if P3, P10, P11 share the same traces, but I believe they do. As I'm going for Scart, P11 is the obvious choice, and has a convenient access on the underside.
Thanks.
