OSSC Red/Green Light – No Video

[CampingCarl]

I have a 1.6 OSSC that I’ve kept in box for a while. I’ve finally got the chance to try it out and hooked up my PAL chipped PsOne via a RGB packapunch cable (see here) to AV1. I booted it up and for 5 minutes everything was fine. I was just playing around with the line doubling settings, and looking through the options. I looked down for a brief moment and when I looked back up, darkness. A video feed was no longer coming through, and now a red light was next to the green. A quick check of the wiki shows that this meant an unstable sync.

I rebooted the unit, and got the test pattern again. I turned on my PsOne, and the video signal was again lost. The panel on the unit is still showing me the detected resolution and settings, but there’s no video, as well as no audio. Turns out this now applies to all inputs I try to connect to the unit. As soon as it detects a new resolution, the HDMI video just drops out until the unit is turned off.

Troubleshooting:

• Changing HDMi cables
• Changing input sources, AV2 with component consoles like Wii/Xbox (480i/480p)
• Have reset settings to factory default
• Have tried all LPF settings all line doubling settings
• Updated firmware

And still, nothing. I bought this thing new. Any ideas? I don’t really have much soldering experience.

That does sound like a fault with the unit unfortunately.. was that cable definitely purchased from RGC? If so I can’t see how it could have damaged your unit.

The cable was definitely purchased straight from the store and not a third party reseller. Even says on the page that it works fine with the OSSC.

Looks like the unit is faulty then. Just my luck.
