Flynnsbit, I'm trying to the the same RGB mod to my GXTV that you've done but I'm confused on a couple things. Firstly, are you grounding your 3 signal wires? If so, are you using the ground near where you got the 5v? If so, is it necessary to use 3 ground wires like 8 Bit Guy did, or can I just run 1 wire to all 3 signal ports?
I'm also confused about the 3 wires on your switch. The red wire is the 5v which I presume you split from the red wire going into the R918 hole? The black I presume is the ground taken from the area I mentioned above? Is it a second ground wire because the first is for the signal ports? I have no idea where the blue wire is coming from. Is that the wire that I've attached to the R918 resister?
EDIT: Nevermind, it took so long to get this post approved that I've been able to figure this out on my own. Here are some pictures of my final work:




I had purchased this TV in 1997 on Long Island, NY when it was released, and I was always so disappointing that a TV advertised as a "Television For Gamers" only had composite video. I even went into the Electronic Boutique in the Sunrise Mall in Massapequa, NY the next day and complained that it didn't even support S-Video (TV was $300 at the time, I believe), and the old man working there was shocked (they had a display GXTV in the store). I had barely any money at the time, but I won a Stereo Speaker Set from PlayStation through a random drawing from PlayStation Underground Magazine. I immediately sold it for the purchase price of a GXTV so I could buy one, which I did.
I still loved the set though, for it had awesome sound, 2 composite inputs, 2 RF inputs and even composite video/audio out for displaying to a 2nd TV simultaneously. Not to mention the cool opening/closing speakers and large woofer on the top.
It's taken 23 years, but this television is finally worthy of it's name and slogan.
