Problem with sync loss on PVM-20M2E

Post by snk2 »

Hello guys, i've been reading this forum for a while, this is my first post, maybe someone can help me with my problem.
Lately i've been experiencing video sync loss for a second on my PVM-20M2e, and i don't know what's the cause of it.Is it the monitor, the Scart switch or maybe the cables, or something else.
I'm using this Scart switch, it has R,G, and B rca outputs, and composite rca out which i use for sync.Tha rca cables are connected to the monitor using BNC-RCA adapters.

I have uploaded to Youtube a couple of videos with the sync loss on my N64, sometimes it displays on the monitor that "No sync" message and sometimes it doesn't.Also it happens with other consoles too.
I'm using an official Nintendo RGB cable on my N64.

What i noticed is that the sync loss mostly happens when on the screen there is a mostly bright or white background, like the old Konami logo for example, but on the N64 seems like it happens more frequently.
Anyway, here are the videos, maybe i can get to the the bottom of this with your help:

If you have used this for a while and this issue only started recently, maybe it's some loose contact point on that SCART switch.

Personally I'd just use a SCART -> BNC adapter...
