Problem with S-Video on DC VGA box

<< < (2/2)

pmc:
I checked the composite connector and it works OK. But S-Video doesn't. I get multiple horizontal images that flip and are full of interference.

What could cause that. Should I crack the box and look for a cold solder joint? Or beg for a replacement?

This sucks. I hate to default to composite. Seems to defeat the purpose. Then again, I was happy with composite before I got the VGA box. Maybe I should live with it.

Dave_K.:
Can you try it out on a different TV with S-Video input?  Just trying to narrow down the possibilities.

Yeah. I have a satelite receiver feeding the TV via S-Video so I know it works. I tried a couple of combinations -- enough to lead me to to beleive that the S-vid port on the VGA-box is what's busted. Maybe I got a single pin that's busted or something? So composite works, but S-vid only somewhat works?

anyway.... I tried a couple of different cables and I guess I'll go the nine and drag the setup into another room to try another TV and verify it's the VGA box.

And maybe I'll crack the case and investigate....

OK. I'll probably take you up on that if I can't fix it or have the seller replace it. VGA works great in my cabinet. Composite analog video works great too. It's just the S-vid that doesn't seem to work.
