Tv Out Cable Problems

[simpo]

Has any one had any problems with their TV out adaptor, the cable specifically?

I ordered and recieved my adaptor last week, haven't really had a chance to use it much until this evening. It's extremely difficult (having to hold it all perfectly still, if you're lucky enough to get it working) to get a stable picture being displayed, moving the cable about will cause it to go between different states of working, such as working, black and white, weird dark green version and off completely etc

I'm not sure if it's the pin connection between the gp2x and the adaptor, the rest of the adaptor or my connection to extension s video cable. I plan on borrowing another s video extension to see if i can eliminate but it does seem to be the adaptor itself.

I will not be able to get another extension until Sunday, so i thought i'd see if there had been other people with the same problem and see if i can eliminate as much as possible before contacting craig.

Sorry if this should have been in the 'I need help' bit, just remembered that section

Sorry for butting in, guys, hope I'm in the right room.
I saw a link here somewhere for an s-video adaptor and extension.
I need a female to male adaptor or a cable with female to male connections.
My tv out setup works, but it's so short, I've got to stand behind my
tv and watch the gaming in a mirror on the far side of my room.
I don't mind so much, but it drives me up the friggin' walls when
I'm checking out my high scores !!!
Can anyone sort this, pretty please.

doodah, get a svideo extension cable.

I got my cable from play-asia, my predicament is the s-video cable ends in a male plug and I can't source a female to male extension lead, or adaptor.

Sorry for the time wasting !!
Thanx vimacs, got it sourced.

You are looking for an S-Video coupler. I got one at Radio Shack.
