Star Wars - fully working!

<< < (42/46) > >>

Spyridon:
Yeah, it feels good to actually know that the board works and I can focus on the monitor.

The monitor has the LV6100 mod in it already.  It's recently been capped as well.  I'll start with reflowing the solder connections as that seems to have a high probability of being the problem.


I've got a copy of the WG Vector Monitor Guide and will be reading through it (again)


Level42:
Sounds good, you're really close. I've been puzzling for a long time before I figured out it was actually the board itself acting up when I was working on that WG.

I much (very much) prefer the Amplifone.

Be sure to do a continuity check on the soldering of all pins on the connectors and to where the PCB tracks leads to. This way you can check for any PCB track breaks.

Spyridon:
Having the o-scope was really handy.  I quickly was able to determine that the problem was the board and not the monitor.  I guess having a spare 6100 (or a tempest  ;D) would have helped as well.

By the way, Asteroids looks really cool on an o-scope!

I don't have a good video camera, but I did film it with my Blackberry.  Youtube is giving me a problem and won't let me create an account.  As soon as I figure that out, I will post it.
