- A vlog of me and my PVM-14n5u adventures. Fixed a lot of stuff on dis bugga which was given to me by @6tanks (Twitter.) Free too! Forever grateful.
IMPORTANT!!! Forgot to add in the vid that the header label silkscreen for CN403 on the A-Board is reversed! Also, the jumper wires must be added to the sync circuit on the Q-Board. Though, I would also just add the jumpers for the remote circuit as it's easy enough.

This is one of my favourites videos of all time. Stylishly shot. Unique. Fun to watch. Informative. Satisfying to see the beginning and then the end result. What's more I was actually lucky enough to acquire exactly the same monitor very cheap in similar shape with a smashed case and fixed/restored/RGB modded it using the same techniques shown in the video. Can't ask for much more! 😁
I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks for being an inspiration. Your videos have helped me with many repair attempts. I've had a lot of success and feel more confident approaching future projects.
Much thanks! 🙏 You don't know how great it feels to receive validation like this that my time making these videos is worth it. So glad you took something away from my vids. Thanks again.
@@The_SegaHolic I used to work in video production (e.g. script writing, filming, editing, etc.) Trust me, I know how much work it takes. Keep it up.
@@d.r.807 🙏👍🤙
Something about the CRT theme and the narrator really reminds me of Stray the video game.
neec to check that out
incredible per usual. single handedly breathing life in 14n5u's for the community. Godlike
I can't believe the disrespect it gets being called a overblown CCT TV. But thanks man, really appreciate it. Hopefully it can get someone to enjoy their 5u more.🤙
lmao I was surprised to hear the pidgin from a random youtuber while researching about my PVM. Could instantly tell you're from the islands. I picked up the same PVM but its a PVM-14N5J from Japan. Same thing and everything hopefully following this video will help me figure things out as I'm still pretty much a noob when it comes to electronics.
LOL. Yeah, gotta rep. Sometimes I throw em in. I was supposed to do the whole vid in pidgin, but, you know, can get grating... sound kinda weird when I record and not talking to somebody... sound off. LOL. Anyways, yeah, if you need any help doing this mod, LMK. I'm in Waipahu BTW, where you at?
@@The_SegaHolic Mililani, I'll definitely will let you know if I run into any problems whenever I get to it!
You are awesome man. Just bought a 20N5U and I'm getting ready to add RGB to it
DO IT!!!
Several months and a couple of f ups later I finally finished. Completely recapped too. Thank you greatly for the video I could not have done it with out it
You are AMAZING! this is the most detailed and easy to follow pvm rgb mod i have ever seen 🙌 Id love to try this mod when i get a bigger workshop. Thank you for going to the trouble for making such a professional video 📹 detailed comparisons of each component and the included graphics are spectacular and not over done. 😀
DAMN, I missed your comment! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DONATION! 🤙Again, I cannot stress how much gas comments like this add to the tank for the next video. The video actually makes it seem more complicated, as this really is pretty simple, but time consuming. I"m also on Twitter- @The_SegaHolic so if you ever need help or questions, I'm there.
At first I was scared about the video lenght, but it was really fun to watch. Good restoration on that monitor!! I really enjoyed the video and the tips and tricks :D
Yes, it's really packed with information that someone with a 14n5u can use. Too much though. LOL. I try to make it easy to watch though. Thanks again brah!🤙
Wow, incredible restoration. From the bezel cracks, Lego & cement, to the actual hardware modification itself. Watched every minute of it. Love the attention to detail with the custom connector, and the fact you went out of your way to get the Sony badge from some used speakers to finish it up. Couldn’t have been easy to find all the right components and put it together start to finish. I just picked up this PVM locally. I have to admit the picture looks amazing even with composite and s-video but I’ll have to see if I’m up for this mod. Bookmarked this vid. I’m sure I’ll be returning to it again in future. Cheers brotha!
The mod is pretty easy. Of course, RGB takes it to another level. Give it a go. If you need help, I'm on Twitter- @The_SegaHolic. Thanks for giving me fuel for the next video. Really appreciate it. 🤙
You've convinced me to give the full mod a go! Can definitely tell you are passionate about CRTs and modding and I'm glad you are sharing with everyone what works and what doesn't. Love the video production quality as well!
🤯🤯🤯 Wow! Man, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much! You can reach me on Twitter @The_SegaHolic if u or anyone reading this need help or have questions. Again, much mahalo. And remember the Qboard rgb inputs are labeled wrong on the A board. The labeling (silkscreen) specifically is reversed. It’s mentioned in the github link at the bottom of the description. 🤙 Again, much,much thanks!
@@The_SegaHolic Mod worked! Actually didn't get a picture or sound at all at first and I could have sworn I did everything right. I then started looking at the silkscreen realized that my 20n5u Qboard was missing jumpers JW1306 and JW1328 from the factory (yours had them which is why you didn't mention them as needed as part of the mod) - only 1306 is needed since we aren't using remote - just something to consider if you do the seemingly hours of SMT soldering and you don't get an image or sound haha. 1306 being missing knocks out everything but sync I believe as it has to do with controlling the transistors that enable audio R, G, and B. Maybe that will help someone else in a similar situation!
@@orihalcon8693 Glad it’s working! 👍🤙 Actually, I mention it in the pinned comment and description of adding those jumpers to the QBoard. Glad you actually caught the reversed silkscreen for the Ā-Board’s RGB input header. And if you did all that soldering, u might as well put in that extra component or two, and that jumper to see what that remote jack is all about. LOL.
You sir are a LEGEND. I want to be like you when I grow up! 😊
😳🤙 … pure hyperbole! Thanks though, means a lot.
Thank your for the video. I was finally able to complete the full mod. Could not have even thought it was possible without this incredible video
Thanks man, you don't know how much this means to read this! 👍🤙
Always enjoy your content!
Much thanks man! 🙏 You don’t know how grateful I am.
Excellent video! Really cool editing, very well put together :)
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Just amazing. Honestly one of the best tutorials i have seen on youtube. Good pacing very detailed excellent.
I would LOVE to do this to my PVM-14N5U as all it can do right now is collect dust. Sadly i have no confidence in board soldering so it sits until i can find someone would i can pay to do it. Or until i retire and have the time to dedicate to doing it myself…. Sigh. Someday!
Do it! Pretty easy! Thanks for the compliments man. Means a ton!
Attention to detail 😍
Thanks! 🤙👍
Beautiful work!
Much thanks!
Thanks for the video I will try to do this to my 14n5u I hated how the other sources made it more complicated then it had to be👍
There should be more than enough information. Download the zip file I linked in the description. Again, super high res pics so you can look at things before you begin if you wish. LMK if you need further clarification or help, and how it went. 🤙
@@The_SegaHolic hi I got a question does this work for the 14n1u model too?
@@rodrigojuarez4667 Unfortunately, the 14n1u is VERY different so the information here cannot be applied to it.
Dude, this is pure gold
Much appreciated man. Tru;y adds fuel lfor the next one.
Great job!
Wonderful job 💪
Hey! Mr. Jonzini! Thanks man. Great hearingfrom you again!
this video very informative I have the exact same monitor with similar issues this video was very helpful thank you
🙏 Thanks! What kinds of issues are u having?
@@The_SegaHolic The monitor I got off eBay was packaged very well, but the front bezel is cracked on the top corners. It's so bad I'm afraid to pick it up and move it, literally hanging on by threads.
But all the internals are working fine.. A beautiful picture. I need to try to find the plastic black rivets as all those were exploded out word from being dropped in shipping I surprise the monitor works I will try to use your method to save the bezel on my monitor But if it cannot be saved do you know of any sources Where I could find a replacement it does not have to be the exact same model just fit I just want to keep the monitor safe the whole reason I got it was play my old arcade games I have a between 20 and 25 arcade boards
@@selfelected3832 Nice, I need to get into arcade boards. But yeah, just use scrap Lego, and if you don’t have Lego, you can just build up the plastic just by using the ABS cement. Again, you can get that in the 5-7 dollar range at Home Depot or Lowes. It’ll take about a week to fully cure if you lay it on thick and do several layers of cement. It’s super strong though, like I demo in the vid. You’ll have ZERO worries.
Awesome video! I'd seen the GitHub tutorial you also have linked where they do a lot simpler version of the Qboard - basically just two 75 ohm resistors, so now you have me considering doing the full upgrade..... Not sure if I'd notice the difference between buffered and unbuffered RGB to make it worth the additional complexity 🤔
Actually not that much more complex, but just more work! LOL. There are mistakes in that Github TUT though that I picked up on. But here's something to consider:
electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/591838/is-a-buffered-signal-less-prone-to-interference
Difference of opinions there about buffereing/noise, but I did notice the picture is the cleanest I have out of all the CRT's I have. Could be the RF shields and whatnot, but if you don't try this, you'll always that the nagging question that just maybe the picture will be better if it's bufferred. LOL. Anyways, thanks for dropping a line and commenting. Really appreciate it.
@@The_SegaHolic Thanks for the video! Gonna help me immensely. For me it comes down to availability of discontinued parts. As I'm planning to do the simplified Q board mod - do you mind sharing what mistakes did you notice in the Github tut?
@@corvusfrugilegus9778 As you can see, you don't need original parts. I've listed all the part numbers so you can get them from Mouser, Digi-Key, and eBay (for that one part).
What's wrong with the TUT is if you look a the first picture on the Q-Board, where it shows the 75ohm resistor placement. That is totally wrong. You need to place the resistor in the place where it's originally inteneded (where he says to put the jumper- ie, the red line), and place the jumper wire where he has the resistor. He has it flipped.
Also, you need to add the jumper and 75ohm resistor for the Sync line.
@@The_SegaHolic Thank you so much!
Thanks!
BROTHER, THANKS SO MUCH!!! 🤙🤙🤙
I saw that you fixed the bezel cracks from the inside but how did you fix the crack on the outside of the bezel at the top? It looks like you've glued it and sanded it back a little?
Amazing video by the way, I've ordered all the parts needed and will be attempting this of my 14N5J soon, just waiting for the 2SC1740S.
No, just do everything from the inside. No sanding. just use clamps like I did to make surebthe cracks are squeezed together tight enough, and there will be minimal evidence of a crack. I’m on Twitter @The_SegaHolic if you need further help or questions later. Just DM. 🤙👍 Also, make sure to put in all the jumper wires on the Q Board. Something I forgot to mention on the video. Also, the screen print labeling on the RGB signal input connector on the A Board is reversed. You can get further clarification on the github link all the way on the bottom of the description.
I did this bnc mod to my pvm a couple years ago but I didn't populate the q board. I just connected wires from the back of the bnc connectors straight to the main board. Nice and tidy tutorial though 👌 👍🏻
Thank you and I appreciate it for taking the time to comment! Easy enough to populate the Q board. Or are you satisfied and done?
I do want to sort the q board out so I can use pin connectors and make it easier for maintenance. I'd like to replace all the caps on the main board at some point to make it future proof but getting a cap kit together is going to take some time 🤯 forgot to mention my pvm is the white one and I picked it up on ebay for £70. Absolute steel. Ended up doing some research and found the bnc mod could be done. Wish I had this video back then, would of made the process a breeze.
@@mozza1983 Well, as far as a recap goes, yeah, just gotta bite the bullet and get the service manual to look at the parts list, and bring that board out one more time to confirm. But yeah, PVM prices and availability have changed a.lot over the years. I kept waiting for the right time, then next thing you know, it gets crazy. LOL.
I made the list a while back, just need to go on mouser and order them all 🤯🤯
@@mozza1983 I'm thinking of doing it, but damn. I just hate recapping.
I'm about to get busy with my PVM-20N5E to RGB-mod it. Curious as to how similar this will be. Fortunately for me mine is in much better shape. Thanks for the video, will be watching this multiple times i'm guessing.
I forgot to mention these two things...
1. Remember that the screenprint for the RGB input on the A Board is reversed.
2. Make sure to solder in all the jumpers on the Q Board. The are the staight line markings in the service manual Q Board diagram.
Glad you're making use of the video. I'm on here or Twitter, more often Twitter if you need clarification. @The_SegaHolic on Twitter.
@@The_SegaHolic thanks a lot! I’ll be sure to reach out if i could use some pointers.
There be absolutely nada nothing this man cannot do!!
Brain surgery. And swim. LOL.
@@The_SegaHolic Fine work lad! Also how rare is that a P/B VM with audio with sound!? But it single mono one ruh-roh
@@mistamontiel00 Thank you good sir. BTW, I also could not fix your Saturn! LOL. Ooops! I thought they all thad mono audio inputs?
@@The_SegaHolic What does I know I jus a consumer boobtube worshipper xP I don't know no broadcasted professional displays until youse
$alute fam!
currently doing this mod to my SSM-14n5e, everything on the A-board is pretty much the same, except two missing ICs and a missing connector
fiddling with the q-board smd parts is the most time comsuming part, but id say theres nothing really difficult about this mod, everything has been going very smoothly, just waiting for parts to arrive from ebay
as my monitor is an SSM it didnt come with Line B, so i added that as well
I have a PVM-14N5MDE. Is there any difference between that and the PVM-14N5U regarding following the steps for this mod? Because my monitor looks exactely like yours, i suspect it's a region thing? (I'm from Europe)
Basically my question, can i follow your mod and have success?:)
The PVM-14N5MDE is part of the models on the Service Manual that I have linked. All of the various models from the world are listed. If you go to page 72 and 78, you can see the tables comparing what is missing vs the other models. In fact, if you pause here in the video:
th-cam.com/video/0gxr0i5_1_s/w-d-xo.html
You can see that all the "PVM-14n5's" Q Boards from all regions are exactly the same.
If you look at page 72, the only thing different on the A Board from the PVM-14N5MDE to the PVM-14N5U is R024, which is probably a resistor to tell the micom what region the unit is.
So YES, this mod detailed here is 99.99% going to work. I only say 99.99% cause there might be the very slight chance it doesn't, since I haven't seen it myself.
i had a broken pvm i used jb weld works perfect
maybe I should make a JB Weld vs ABS cement video with those legos? See which wins out when hanging weights on 'em.
Yo not the belly reflection 💀💀💀
Oh damn, we FINALLY have a winner. I left that in intentionally and you are the first to notice! A moke’s gotta moke out!
Oh, and I’ve been waiting for this comment since forever. Haha.
I have an SSM-14N5E that I plan to do a similar mod with.
Just refer to the service manual to see what's missing on both the Q and A boards. Refer to this guide: github.com/phrederick/Sony-SSM-14NXX-SSM-20NXX-RGB-Modification where I got the tactile switch and BNC jack part numbers.
Though there's some errors on the Q-Board on there. I'd just do the full population.
Or you may have your own plans! Anyways, thanks for commenting.
Hi, I saw that you didn't need to discharge the tube to service on the monitor! Is it not necessary to do the procedure?
You HAVE TO! You may get shocked and hurt badly. You can unplug and wait a day as that will discharge most of 5he energy. But it is necessary to do a discharge procedure just in case.
Just got a SONY PVM 14N16E, when switched on it for 5 to 10 mins, the screen color turning green and a couple minutes later it turns to only green and dark. Any idea which part is broken?
What do you use to create the Button To select RGB?
I just used silicone feet, but there are some that 3d prints it.
My brother, I've been running a video game club with my students, I wanted to emulate virtual on Cyber troopers, I wanted to know if you knew a good way to hook up the twin sticks to a PC.
CHUBBS! Long time no hear bro! So great to hear from you.I believe there were Saturn to PC adaapters with Twin Stick support. Let me dig through my stuff when I get back home, and also research this. 🤙
www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Saturn-Controller-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0089O10BC
Checked the comments and this has twin stick support. Cool thing is that it has 2 player support too! Sorry for the late reply. Did some fix ups for my aunty and ended up drinking with my uncle. So was a little buzzed. LOL.
@@The_SegaHolic that's awesome man! I'm looking to catch a buzz this weekend! I appreciate it, I'm going to check the Japanese auction sites and see if I can pick up a twin stick cheap!
Ever been diagnosed with ocd? Lol, just messing. I enjoy watching how meticulously detailed you are on your work.
I just like to work slow, and get everything correct first try so I don't get a heart attack or something. LOL. Besides, I'm not that meticulous. I would have been more careful applying the ABS cement.
Seeing you add a button makes me wonder if it would be possible to add volume buttons.
Silly question because I like to do silly things like play halo infinite in 480i would this enable the 16:9 aspect ratio function too or would that require more restoration/modification?
yes, 16:9 is enabled once you put in that resistor on the A Board.
@@The_SegaHolic thanks for the response and the amazing tutorial I love the idea of it being like a factory upgrade I might spring for the custom front panel labels on mine too
@@Chibichief 🙏 Yeah, the boards are just crippled by leaving the components out. Really easy enough just doing the full A-Board mod. LMK if you have any issues. I’m also on Twitter- @The_SegaHolic
Hi buddy. I have a Sony Trinitron KV-DR29M69 TV. Is it possible to convert this TV to rgb mode? Does it support? I would be very happy if you reply. Thanks in advance.
I just picked up 4 PVM 14N5U’s, and I was wondering if this was possible!
Unfortunately, I’m really scared to try modding these since I know literally nothing about electricals. I took a high school physics course, and that’s about the extent I know about electricity!
Where did you learn all of this? It’s amazing
I bought one last year for under 200 but I’ve been stuck with a bad tube because there’s a yellowish green type hue to the screen and honestly to scared to send it off but I don’t wanna risk getting shocked if I do it myself without a tutorial or some advice
This is awesome! Do you know if something similar could be done with a 14n1u? Could you turn it into a 14n2u?
From what i have read, yes it can be "converted" just like the 5u/6u
Any chance is this mod possible on the Sony PVM 922OME? Thanks
Not the same mod, sorry.
@@The_SegaHolic ah ok. Thanks for that. Ok if it's not the same mod, have you seen one of those PVM models before and their schematics to see if they can have their own RGB mod?
17:28 i didnt want to remove the picture tube for better access so i cut from the outside, and i didnt have any tools suitable so i used a old soldering iron, and that was a huge mistake plastic melts and then you need to scrape the melted plastic off the front panel for an hour before the sticker can lay flat
also doing the cutouts on the sticker is absolute nightmare, basically impossible
I did the cutout on the sticker. 🤷♂️. Soldering Iron on the panel? 😳
Hey man, is it real, that i dont need a rgb mod if my trinitron got SCART??
yeah, cause scart is usually an rgb interface/connector.
Can this be done to a 20n5u
These damages and gaps on the croner are apparently common, my 14n6u has the same damage
Sony made some interesting design choices for sure.
that was perfect shame about the metallic body
I could have repainted the entire shell and made it new looking, but I like the used look. Gives it character.
i have two of these pvm 🤘😎
i use rgb>svideo converters instead of all that work you put in lol
nice picture though 💗
I have a question! There is a slight buzzing sound at the back of the monitor while it is working, is this normal?
Might be transformer buzz. Google "transformer buzz." Otherwise, for further knowledge, ask on the CRTGAMING subreddit.
@@The_SegaHolic Thanks for the answer!
@@The_SegaHolic But, if this is a transformer buzzing, then this is the norm, should it be there?
Good video. Has a bunch of cringe elements on it's edition, but overall good.
👍👍👍
Thanks!
THANK YOU MR. JUAREZ. 🙏🙏🙏. 👍🤙 SO GRATEFUL!
