need help fixing cable

Post by ryu »

well, if it's fixable at all that is.

i got my "second" saturn rgb scart lead today (first one turned out to be a composite), and wasn't happy to see that it was manufactured really badly. it worked at first, bad started messing around after a few minutes of use.

what is actually happening is that the signal is sent to the monitor, but then vanishes and, appears again and vanishes ad infinitum. i already checked the cables connecting to the scart lead, but couldn't find anything wrong there.

would anyone happen to have an idea what could be at fault for this? it's not the connector on the monitor (other scart leads work fine) and i doubt it's the saturn seeing how everything about this cable reeks of cheapness.

anything that may help me out here is much appreciated

edit:
just tested it out with my regular crt. turned out here it only shows a picture in b/w instead of having a messy signal. if that helps any..
