    Closed New board: The VIC-II² - PAL/NTSC switch board for Commodore 64

    Oh I didn't see that, awesome! Ordered, gets here tomorrow. Going to continuity test the board the entire way and see if anything is borked. You think there would be an issue if I powered this on my bench with 5v DC (away from the Commodore) to test the switching states? Thanks!

    I will use the schematic to diagnose the issue. Thank you! I will tune the trim pots as well. Just in case you are right, do you have the link for the pins you used for the board itself? I saw the link you had for the female pins for the C64 but not the male equivalent. Thanks!

    K, I checked both chips and both crystals, they are fine. This leads me to believe the lumafix chip is bad, maybe one of the caps or pots? Just black screen however I switch it. Do you think the pots for lumafix are too low and I need to crank them up? Do you have a board schematic or map that...

    Both are black screen when I switch, so this is why I doubt its the chips. As far as the switching legs, they path correctly from the blue board to the C64. I can desolder the crystal and test the PAL chip as well and ensure it still works. What else could I have damaged by putting the leads...

    Closed New board: The VIC-II² - PAL/NTSC switch board for Commodore 64

    I made a mistake and followed the directions on the video for my 250425 board, the guide wasn't listed on the video directly so I clipped the power to the wrong pins (which I found out later). When plugging it in the first time I heard the buzzing of the relays. I unplugged immediately and...
