Tv Out Cables

[alterdimension]

Hello. When I got my tv out cables, they were so loose that I couldn't connect them to the t.v. Ive tried ductape and alot more.
I realize that that guy that faq said he could do it, but it didn't happen for me. Alot of people say that they can do it but I can't. Please help me. -Alterdimension

Take the picture.

Then, upload it to www.imageshack.us

Then, look for the 'for forums' URL they give you. It should look something like this:

[img]URL to an image[/img]

Or this:

[url=URL to an image][img]URL of a different image[/img][/url]

You get the idea. Then just copy and paste it here.

Sorry, but that doesn´t make any sense to me. Which part is loose? the one that goes into the ext port? Or the svideo jack? Or is your Svideo cable too loose? Or do you try to connect your gp2x to the tv without any cables besides the tv-out adaptor?

Ok, all you need to do is click the edit key near the bottom of your post and choose "full edit" and erase everything you don't want.

First of all. Did you go into settings and use the TV setting thing? You have to change to TV -Out in the settings.

Second, is your TV properly set to S-Video? Do you have a DVD player that does S-Video that you can use to check it (a Playstation or other video game with s-video will work too).

Now that the TV is working in S-Video, plug the GP2X into the TV. Go to the settings menu and choose TV, then press the button to switch to TV-Out.

Is there anything happening on your TV? Did the screen on the GP2X turn off?

If nothing shows up, Carefully press the connector into the GP2X.

Is there flickering on the TV screen?

If not, carefully press the connector toward the front or back of the GP2X as you push in, don't apply a lot of force.

If a picture shows up when you do that, the 3x5 card paper method will work for you (or any other card paper that is as thick as 4 or 5 pieces of paper). Cut the card paper to be as wide as the part that sticks into the GP2X.

You need to put the card paper on the side of the TV Cord with the little copper metal pins inside, that will press the pins into contact and make the TV cable work

Hi. Can anyone kindly point me to the cardboard tv out guide? Thanks.

 

[The Master]

My TV-Out cable doesn't have the GP2X logo on it. Boo, WHY NOT

Hi. Can anyone kindly point me to the cardboard tv out guide? Thanks.

It is on the file archive under TV fix by nubie, but here is the gist of it. (my original version I went in with a file and cut down the connector, but then everyone said it worked great without the filing, so I don't recommend it.)

First make a piece of thick paper like so, use something with about the thickness of a gift card, or a business card, or a 3x5 index card as I used here:

Then put it in the opening like this, make sure it is in against the very front of the hole, not on the plastic part with the copper-colored connections:

Plug in the TV cable and see if it works now.
