    Hi !


    I was testing out my new indivision mk3 on my cd32 when it suddenly shut down and did not go on again.


    After some research I found out that the Composite video out was still working and after some more investigation I found that L10 on the board seems to have been shorted or something.


    Dunno exactly what has happened.


    Is it possible to bridge L10 in order to try if I get picture out of HDMI again to validate that nothing else on the board is broken or is that a bad idea ?


    I can't see anything else on the board that looks like it's been shorted but I can't be 100% sure.

    If not can anyone tell me what values the component have so I can replace it ?

    I think most of the staff is on vacation. I think Jens should be back on monday. I would recommend you to wait for him to answer.

    yeah i'l wait 'til Jens get back here :)


    I have ordered a new MK3 for my CD32 but I'm interested in trying to get this to work anyways. Hopefully it's just that component that needs to be replaced.

    If that ferrite bead (and nearby board) is burned, then some very high current must have flown - probably a short circuit. You should not just bridge the ferrite, as you don't know what really happened - we can do testing in a controlled environment with current-limiting, which should be done to prevent further damage.

    Yes, and it has already been repaired - just didn't have the time to write to you yet (repaired last Friday). The flicker fixer is fine (worked out of the box), and L10 was replaced. L10 really only burns if there is a short on the 5V line of the monitor cable, so that's most likely what happened at your place.
