syncing an lcd to paperboy, I think this warrants a new thread
ok so I got an rgb coverter or whatever you call it a couple of weeks back and had zero luck with it. sent it back and they determined it had an issue, they sent a new one. (after testing it first)
So I get this thing hooked up, and I try every possible combination of sync possibilities between paperboy's 2 sync wires and the 2 sync wires leading into the converter.
Bottom line, the only luck I have is with paperboys orange sync wire connected to the yellow sync wire that leads to the converter, but............... I MUST hold the yellow paperboy sync wire in my left hand and the grey sync wire that leads into the converter right next to (but not touching) the 2 connected wires.
I was at this for close to 3 hours messing around with every possible combination. If I remove any of the 3 wires from a firm grip in my fingers it loses sync. hold them again, sync again. It isn't perfect sync, the picture is off center slightly with a black bar along the bottom of the screen, but it looks good. Sorry about the upside down pic of the screen on this one.
Anyway, bottom line, every possible combination of connected sync wires was attempted none of them working on their own, and none of them working while in the grasp of my fingers aside from the combination mentioned above.
any ideas on how to get the bitch to work without me holding it for the rest of my life?
edit: if for example I move the yellow/orange connected wires to the left hand where I have the yellow paperboy sync wire, no sync. For whatever reason it likes the grey wire (which is connected to nothing but the converter and my finger) and the yellow/orange both touching the same fingers, and the yellow single sync wire from the gameboard in the opposite hand.
