VGA box dying?

YouTube · Post by **mazonemayu** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 2:20 am

i just noticed my dc showing a somewhat greenish picture when using my vga box, is it dying on me?

Edit: colour returns to normal when I wiggle the cable, this helps, but as far as I see it is only a temporary solution

Which model VGA device do you have? It can be a faulty wire, dust or debris on the pcb etc. Take it apart and inspect it.

It's an official one, so it's very old

I already cleaned the tip of the cable with some alcohol, and the port in my DC also.

Doubt its a problem with the video port of your console or the connector tip for tha matter. The issue should on the pcb board housed with your vga box.

What should I be looking for when I take it apart?

Are you using an offical vga box? ~:|

I have the same problem with my Brooklyn vga box. Guess it's a fault wire but every solder point looks good. Could be a broken cable too.

I already mentioned a few possibilities... "sigh"

Look for wires not connected to the pcb board. Any dirt or hairs on the board. Blow it carefully with compressed air can. I once purchase a vga cable for DC prewoned with the same issue. Took it apart and found there was a dead spider lying on the pcb. Blew the board with air can. Issue gone. Working good again.
