      Not entirely, RGB video has sync on green, so the RGBHV from VGA/DVI-A would need conversion before being sent to the TV, but at least you already have 5v in the VGA/DVI-A connector for the combining circuit

      I bet patreon supporters “excited” for such quality of content, totally worth it
      It’s like he talking to toddlers or dummies or something: “I unscrew this, than solder a wire here, my technique is called “I’m first day at my job””, hard to watch honestly
      Main theme is of course his “projects”, games and computer, neither of which is good, to be honest

    My dad started out as a repair tech for Wards back in the 40’s. He could fix anything. He eventually ran their nationwide service division, but would still refuse to buy a new fridge, washer, dryer, or TV… he would just bring home broken appliances that customers did not want to pay the repair costs on and fix them. Our first color TV, in 1971, was an ancient RCA that still had a picture tube that was mostly round. My Dad kept replacing tubes and fixing that thing to keep it going so he could watch football in color. Then, one day the picture tube died and I watch as my dad hand Rewound the coils around the tube neck to get it working again. The second time the picture tube died, he finally threw in the towel and bought a new color TV. Even though he was a nationwide executive by that time, I think it was the first major appliance he ever actually paid for, new.

      I grew up basically ghetto poor, I remember my older sibling finding a VCR in the trash and he took it back to my dads, this would of been the chunky old ones that weighed probably as much as a modern tv if not more and my dad spent spent hours just taking the circuit boards out and testing components and cleaning it, think he paid a small amount of cash for some replacement capacitors or whatever from Radio Shack and we had a working VCR, this war around 1990, the tv he was given by a friend as it was faulty and he fixed it again cheaply. Finding things in the trash or being given broken devices was how I owned everything I did until my teen years, from a games console, even toys sometimes.

    As an old git i remember growing up with TVs like this ( and older). This was a common problem, we had a local TV repair shop that would fix our TVs if this happened or if the SCART socket became loose , even after he "retired" and sold his shop he would still help out his longest running customers for a bit of extra cash when he retied. I guess he must be long gone by now, kind of sad.

      Growing up back in the day my dad would take the tubes from the console TV down to the drug store to test them on the tube testing vending machine, and if he couldn't figure out how to fix the TV that way we'd pay for a TV repairman to come over the house and fix the TV, bringing his tool kit into the living room. Those big console TVs are too heavy to just casually put in the car and drive to a shop.

    I think you can also make this TV work on 50 Hz, on IC 901 (SZM-284EV) on pin 7 there's a 50/60 Hz mode, your TV has that pulled to ground, I believe if you pull it high it will switch to 50 Hz mode. So it should work with your BBC micro on RGB 50 Hz. You can install a toggle switch to set the sync between 50 and 60 Hz

    I love it when you post content like this; just straight up technical nerditry.
    Always makes me smile when I see a new 8BG video in my YT feed.

    Just picked up a very similar model, inexpensively from Facebook Market Place. It is a quality TV, & has survived the test of time. I may attempt this mod as well. Thanks for demonstrating its value & functionality.

    I had a massive twinge of nostalgia when you fired up that Plus/4 - it was my first computer and had it for Xmas 1985

    Honestly, I really want to get one of those little Samsung TVs, because when I moved out of state, the way I had to move I ended up having to leave behind my beloved little Orion TV that my mom and I bought ages ago back in 2000 when we started playing video games together in my room. That TV is so amazing, and I really miss it. Hopefully, I'll be able to go back and pick it up one day and play my classic consoles on it again.
    Obviously, with it being 24 years old, there will come a point where I'll have to learn how to solder so I can replace resistors, capacitors and so on to keep it working well in the future. I would also love to do some mods to it to be able to add component and S-Video upgrades as well. Seriously, for a $99 Walmart sold TV from a brand I'd never heard of in 2000, this little TV is an absolute trooper.

    I wish I'd had the foresight to keep the plethora of CRT TVs I've had over the years. And all the C64 stuff I had back in the day. And the Franklin Ace 1200 I had. And my record collection.
    Anyone got a time machine I can borrow? 😂
    Seriously, tho -- good repair video. Well done. 🙂

    • @Thohean

      I feel the same way. I had a bunch of computer games from the 90s I got rid of and ended up buying a lot of them again a few years later, except I had to pay way more than I sold them for. Felt real stupid.

      If you want a nice CRT, they're easy to find on Craigslist for cheap or free. I wanted a CRT for retro gaming and found someone giving away a nice 27" Sony Trinitron from the late 90's and all it cost was the time to drive down and pick it up

    My mother's CRT from 98 or 99 is still operational, i inherited it when she felt it was time for a flat panel, i keep this thing running nearly 24/7, never been serviced or cleaned. Sony made some solid stuff back in the day for sure.

    Great video and awesome work. A little correction on the N64 supporting RGB 9:31. It weirdly doesn’t out of box. Even though the SNES and GameCube do. You need a RGB mod chip installed in the N64. It’s cheap, like $30, and very easy to do. A great first time mod for someone just starting out soldering. If you’re interested, it would make a great future project/video. 👍
