XRGB-mini Framemeister not outputting video

[Will Cheyney]

Hi guys,

Looking for a bit of advice regarding my XRGB-mini Framemeister.
It's been working faultlessly since I got it but today when I went to play the N64 and it's refusing to output anything.
I'm not even getting the Framemeister blue screen or options menu appearing on the TV.

The Framemeister seemingly powers on fine but just won't output any video. The remote also seems unresponsive with the device as well.
I've tried flashing the firmware (downgrading and upgrading) a few times to no avail. I've put fresh batteries in the remove and it's still not communicating with the Framemeister expect for powering it on. I've tried it on a different TV. Nothing has worked.

Has anyone else had similar issues with theirs before?


Many thanks,
Will

try a different PSU. They tend to fail.

The power adaptor? The LED's turn on and blink when updating the firmware.
The power doesn't cut in and out.

I know, but the caps in the PSU go bad which causes the voltage levels to drop (or raise) and it can cause irregular behaviour like this.

Did you happen to switch the output resolution to something unsupported by your TV?

I did that once and had to hook it up to a PC monitor to fix it. I think you can also hold down the "Reset" button on the remote for some amount of time to go to 480p. But I forget the details there.

Something similar happened to me My framemeister did not boot video signal but turned on and responded to the remote control. Finally the problem was the hdmi output of the framemeister had pins bent on its output, I imagine for much cable change, I had to disarm it and replace it, greetings

Did it worked out for you, TC? I'm having the exact same problem!
