Does the console rattle?

Looks like i'm gonna have to replace the missing resistors and capacitors to get this to work again. Could someone upload a very high rez scan/picture of the underside of a white pc engine board? alternatively: r137 r138 r141 and c137 are the components that are missing. if anyone can supply info on...

Thanks for the leads!

Ok, I got a cd-rom adaptor so i could avoid messing around to much with this. I thought i'd just use the rca jacks on that and basically use the cd adaptor like a huge av booster. This doesn't work. I looks like the rf mod basically under-clocks the console so it outputs video at 50hz rather than 60...

Thanks Ziggy, I know that the PSU needs to be 9v at 1.5a, it the actual tip that i need dimensions for. Un-fortunately as i'm located in something of a technological hinterland getting the tip from a shop would probl'y cost the same as the psu does off e-bay. I was hoping if someone knew what tip di...

Hello, got myself an IFU-30A for my pc engine without a psu of ebay. Does anyone know the dimensions for the power adaptor tip, or where to get a suitable PSU in the UK?

Thanks

If you have a voltmeter you could try and locate where power is lost on the board. From the pics it looks like a battery has leaked on it and might've corroded some joints. I'd try to re-solder that batter terminal also.

Just a thought, but x-box style pads have a breakaway link in the cable to stop you damaging the port or console, this looks a lot like a ps2 connector.

From the pictures i agree with SnowKitty, looks like you have the cable twisted. Hard to tell though. Hopefully this hasn't zapped the board, look for any burned resistors.
