Finally I was able to figure out that the system worked as long as it had 3v – 4.5v.
I posted a video on Youtube and a viewer had me check some voltages. According to the datasheet A33VDD should be 3.3V but mine is 4.8V when I’m powering the system with 5V.
So I have ordered a replacment for U6 which is a TLV70033. Hopefully that will bring the 5V back down to 3..3V.
Then I’ll need a replacement on /off switch and a new button1 (mine isn’t working).
My video is here. https://youtu.be/gucZr2RgDvo
I’ve tested U5 and when it getting 5V it’s outputting the correct 3.3V. I came the ‘fix’ by noticing the output would didplay correctly for a brief moment when I switch it off. Holding the switch at just the right position would improve the picture, which gave me the idea to lower the voltage. I did try using a spudger to prod the components but no luck.
I need a replacement on / off switch because this one, no won’t stay in the off position but that’s for when I can work out what’s happening with the board.
Would it be ok to post a link to my YT video when I publish it?
Finally worked out what is wrong with this thing. Too much voltage. When turning the switch half off, it showed brief signs of working correctly.
So I had an idea to lower the volatge on my bench PSU to 3V and it came on perfectly, but the little display wasn’t working properly.
Going to 4v and 4.5v and it’s working great.
What on earth is going on?
So I turned this on again this morning and it output this, which looks great. As soon as I moved it, the picture went corrupt again.
Somewhere there is a loose connection.
Sadly a new TVP7002 didn’t resolve the issue. I’m still getting wrong colours. I’m at a loss as to what to try next.
Thank you. I replaced the ITE IT6613E but that made no difference so I ordered a couple of TVP7002,
Just waiting for them to arrive so I can swap it over.
Hopefully that will fix it.
