p0ke Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 news news ! So I bought spare vcs and could flash a nice demo (Tim1t) on the harmony eprom. It boots no problem everything correct. I opened my vcs 'again' and notice that the 5v modulator was sweating white thing .... Capacitors look ok, so will just change this modulator and try again. I believe this is a close subject. Any close buton somewhere ? ! Thanks to you all for your support and idea, that saved me a lot of time and hairs ! cheers p0ke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Sweating white thing? You mean the heatsink compound? That's beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0ke Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 yes of course but the white thing on it never been there before neither the dirt all around... it has melted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 yes of course but the white thing on it never been there before neither the dirt all around... it has melted! Something may have been spilled, or the console kept in hot conditions at some point, but there's nothing visibly wrong with that photo. If the voltage regulator is putting out ~5V, there's nothing wrong there at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's just squished out a little. Normal. No different than a fat ass sitting on a cheeseburger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0ke Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 guys, I flashed back the harmony with the loader and everything, and tried it on my vcs and everything is fine ... dunno why. ... I have no idea about the reason, is it possible that the loader get corrupted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
