I picked up Yagamikun’s boxed top loader. Beaut of a system…but she’s blind and mute.
No output on S Video or composite, no audio on the RCA lines. Tried two PVMs, Framemeister and an old 1080p LCF tv with composite in.
Checked the AV breakout board. No obvious signs of issues. The power plug did break connection if wiggled so I reflowed the solder on the power (even though I had power LED showing) as a first step. No improvement
Caps look nice (I mean they could be dry, but I doubt it) and the diodes read as good.
My next guess is a bad inductor / power not leaving the AV breakout board and getting to the motherboard itself and I will test that…as I’ve read some fixes on top loaders where that’s the issue…but obv that’s not a direct match to a top loader.
Anyone have this issue and repair it? Trying to find some leads before I just dismantle the entire unit down to the component boards and check ebeeyhing
I should say Yagamikun was a consummate awesome member and offered to take the unit back but it’s so damn pretty I’d rather not send it back Lolol
