Ultracade UVC Color Problem

Post by superpretendo »

Hello all, I recently acquired an Ultracade UVC for hooking up an Xbox 360 to my Egret 2 with a Nanao MS9 tube, but am having some troubles with it. It will only display red and green- no blue. My PCBs work perfect with this cab so I know it isn't the JAMMA harness. I have it connected with one of FrancoB's Ultracade UVC adapters. Has anyone seen this issue before? Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you check FrancoB's adapter so that the Blue connection is good/solid? His work is always near immaculate, but sometimes in life, shit happens during shipping.

On my Egret 2 setup, I just use a plain-vanilla Ultracade UVc setup and it does display the Red, Green & Blue signals strong and clear as usual. I do recall having some trouble trying to get it sync up properly upon recieving it for the first time but with a bit of fiddling around with the dipswitches and rebooting up the ol' E2, it finally was able to display the RGB signal as intended. Both outputs from the ol' 360 console and PC netbook via VGA output (at 640 x 480 res setting) come in crystal clear indeed.

From what I can see, the soldering is solid... though when I disconnected it from the UVC and placed it between a working PCB and my JAMMA harness, the colors were affected, so perhaps it is the adapter. Would you recommend desoldering/resoldering the blue point?

I'd suggest trying a few more times of reconnecting and rebooting it up to see if that does the trick. If not, then try "desoldering/resoldering the blue point" to see if the Blue signal finally comes in strong and clear as it should. Or you just might have to wait for another UVc to pop up for sale and see if that one works properly or not.

I'd contact FrancoB and ask him for advice. He's very knowledgeable and helpful.
