99.9% sure that you can't use a PAL signal on an NTSC screen, both of those are, apparently.

[SonyQrio]

Hmmm. It would make sense that the screen auto-switched between the two, like I said in the video. But, you never know.

 

[bud]

All eBay screens I've used can accept PAL and NTSC signals, so that isn't the problem. Why don't you try pulling video directly from the chip?

 

[nuke]

Yup, I was just about to say that as well. Get video from pin 9, if you cant, swap out the AV chip.

 

[SonyQrio]

The AV chip is different on PAL boards. I can get that same signal from pin 7, though.

 

[ShockSlayer]

All eBay screens I've used can accept PAL and NTSC signals, so that isn't the problem.

Have you tried PAL on all of them? The 4.3" screens that bentomo and I used said they took PAL, when in actuality they didn't render a proper video signal; colors were wrong, only got half the screen, etc.

I remember setting my media player in that PMP to PAL once, and that worked.

What I meant was that the information on the screen said it would accept either.

 

[Ashen]

My NTSC "testing TV" will display PAL output fine, the image is in black and white and cropped though.

Wire to here:

That should do it.

 

[SonyQrio]

It worked! Thanks Ashen!

 

[Ashen]

Of course it did, you're welcome.

 

[SonyQrio]

Of course it did, you're welcome.

Don't worry SS. You are still awesome too.

YEAH, FINALLY.

 

[SonyQrio]

Does wire length matter on a Wiikey? All of my wires have varying lengths. It shouldn't matter, right?

 

[SonyQrio]

I have an IPL 1.0 board.



Can I use the MX Chips from an NTSC DOL 001 CPU-30 board on my DOL-CPU(P)-01 board?

 

[Ashen]

IPL 1.0 PAL boards are fine.

 

[SonyQrio]

What could be the problem then?

 

[Ashen]

Are the region switches on the wiikey set to PAL?
