So, definitely not damaged the TRS and my cable is good.

I think I need to return the other board. I’ve removed my solder pads and jumpers and…Read more

I’ve two boards, the first was working but with no red. After confirming my cable was good, by switching the red and green wires on the mod board, and checking the rf output still had red, I swapped the mod board. I get no image with the second one, so I swapped back to the first and that’s also…Read more
