Post by Se0r »

i just finished building my ybox2 and connected it to the TV and i only get this weird colorful static, plus the voltage regulator gets really hot when i plug it, i don't now if that's normal or not. i really really want to start experimenting with the little machine so if someone know whats going on with it id be grateful for a solution, please, peace and thank you. :mrgreen: :?: :!: :?

Where are you located? Do you have a PAL tv by any chance?

First, remove the ethernet chip and try plugging it in again and see what happens.

It's hard to diagnose things without a picture. Could you take a picture of both the front and back of the board and post it?

hey guys, sorry for taking so long to answer, i been without internet for the past two weeks, im not sure that the Ethernet chip is the problem because the ybox wasn't responding since before i installed it, still im gonna try it, i can switch between NTSC and PAL touching the reset button right? hope this pics help to identify the problem.
