Cant get a good RCA signal with my Sony PVM 20M4E

Post by babba »

A couple of weeks ago i finaly found a PVM in pick up range. Despite many offers from others i was able to snag it for a decent price.
The seller stated that the monitor was in great working condition and didnt had a lot of working hours.
The sticker with the manufacturing date was missing but after some talk and tests i took the monitor home.

Because i didnt have bnc to scart cables yet, i hooked several consoles up via composite using a bnc adapter (psx, megadrive, xbox and gamecube) and the displayed picture was as it should be.

This weekend i got a rgb bnc (with sync) to male scart cable. With a female to female scart adapter i tried to connect my psx. The picture from the PVM was very green and apart from that didnt look great. Also when booting up a game the picture would pull to the right, as if a magnet was pulling the displayed picture (if that makes sense ;)). I also tried to mix the rgb to gbr with no improvement and the tube was making weird noises. After trying again the next day i couldnt get a rgb signal at all.

Am i missing something in the settings menu? Or is the cable i use maby fried or not capable of giving a good signal (picture of the cable below). Or is my PVM suffering from old age or fried rgb board?)

Thanks for the help in advance :)
