Hello,as you can see I am new here.I am from Coruña,Galicia ,Spain.Please excuse me if I have a bad english. My Saturn PAL model 2 has a little problem,when I turn it on,the tv detect it ,but there isn´t any image,only black screen,I have only the sound.Before write this thread I have read another identical case in this forum and one possible solution was to change four capacitators in the motherboard. I am not very good at "electrical" skills,could you tell me where are those capacitators or how can I recognize them? Do you know some another possibility? *The cd unit works fine *the power light works too *the sound as I said works good lot of thanks!
PM raylyd " raylyd 11-22-2008, 03:19 AM I have fixed this prob before easy fix on your motherbourd there 4 CAPACITORs near where the video socket is 220uf 6.3v replace the all near together and the picture will work"
Thanks mate,but I´ve read it .The problem is that I can´t find them.All capacitators I can see near of the video are of 220uf but 4V not 6.3 as its said in that post. thanks:thumbsup:
rgb mod?? It is a pal saturn ,I usually connect her with a rgb scart. But thanks friend:thumbsup: edit: if you are referring to a RCA mod i did it! but the result was the same (even with a short circuited included)
Um, all Saturns output RGB?! 4V... 6V... doesn't matter. It's a tolerance. If you don't feel competent to do the fix, find someone who will. Either raylyd or myself would be happy to help, I'm sure... but I believe we're both in the UK. Not really worth it in shipping fees. To be honest, if you can't do it yourself (or find a friend who can for nothing or cheaply), it's probably cheaper to pick up another Saturn.
ok retro. I think I will take the risk,I need to learn.When I have time I ll fix it.I have nothing to lose! thanks!
