those audio-jack style av adapters are not standardized at all. everyone that makes one makes it differently, so try using various different ones and switching around the connectors. also when you reflow solder for a dry solder joint it's best to remove as much of the old solder as you can and replace it with new solder.
@@ChrisMX9 you are more likely to break the pcb entirely than the solder starts cracking with your through-hole components soldered properly (in the video they are soldered properly). In the case of early lead-free solder it be worth it to replace since they start having whiskers that might short the circuit.
I have always found myself looking for mini TV's, not for any actual reason other than I like something that normally, would be incredibly large... as a small item.
I’d try cleaning the connector inside with contact cleaner and maybe making own adapter, just in case this one has low quality wires. A friend of mine had a TV in his car in mid 2000s with terrible video quality. I’ve replaced the RCA cable from his DVD player and it fixed it.
*Some 3.5mm jacks have 3 sections of metal at the end, for stereo. Some have a fourth section for a microphone connection.* _Also not all jacks measure the same size._
Yeah you definitely just have the wrong adapter for that mini tv, I've had the exact same problem before with other similar devices. I found it easier to make my own adapter than to try buy one online because there isn't a standardized "pin out" for that adapter
Nice Seiko Pulsemeter. Your earlier unpacking video where that TV showed up in actually got me looking for portable TVs, and I ended up buying a Seiko LVD-404. It's still in transit, but soon get to see if it actually works.
Back in the early 90s or so I heard a joke about a guy at an airport. He noticed this businessman had an amazing wristwatch. It was a TV, a cell phone, a calculator, and it spoke! The man was so impressed that such tech could fit in a watch and offered to buy it for $500. The businessman agreed, handed over the watch, and also his large suitcase - "don't forget the battery!"
I saw one in the dragnet movie and wanted it. In 2012 i got a fitness with that was really just an android device and loaded the slingbox app. Much better picture and cable ready
If you haven't fixed it and by your description of having to position the jack just so. The signal is probably crossing over multiple contact points. Try coating the connector in nail varnish, then inserting it and spinning it, hopefully it'll scratch off just the varnish at the correct contact points. You could also try just connecting an AV cable directly to the solder points.
The solder joints honestly looked fine, and despite what others down here are saying about 3.5 mm AV adapter not being standardized, there is clearly something else on the board that's failing and causing issues since after you fixed the solder joints you got some picture out of it. I could be wrong, so test out some other cables just in case, but it just seems like there's something else going on with the mini TV itself.
I mentioned on the previous video that there are many different configurations for those 3.5mm AV jacks - the ones made for video cameras etc tend to be different to those made for game consoles. What I'd suggest doing is test the jack internally to work out which contacts are audio, ground and composite. Or you could just trial & error it by switching the RCA cables over while playing a source, if you have a cable that splits them out.
don't know if you ever fixed it on your own but ive had similar struggles with a/v output for camcorders. the best thing to do is to ground is; get your 3.5mm to rca cable, figure out which poles on the 3.5mm end ( the metal contacts separated by plastic rings ) correspond to which color/ground on the other end with a multimeter, write it down. then you can find out which pole the ground pin is on when you plug it in to the tv. then, you can try and make your own cable or find one online with pinout listed, with the ground pole on the same place. the other cables can all be swapped around so they dont matter as much. as for how many poles there are, the number of sections on the 3.5mm, it might be 3 or 4. that tv is clearly mono only, but who knows, maybe seiko just used a stereo + video jack instead. if only we had some documentation. just needed to let you know otherwise i wouldnt be able to sleep tonight lol.
I would suggest it needs a good recapping, they would be quite dry after all these years. Regarding the AV connection itself, as others have pointed out it probably uses its own pinout, so the adapter you're using is slightly misaligned to what it is expecting (as you suggested having to swap the A and V). One other thing, it probably uses a CCFL tube for the backlight, and that might be a bit tired after all these years. I wonder how difficult it would be to swap them for diffused LEDs, bypassing the CCFL high voltage circuit in the LCD module, etc... Overall, a great little unit!
I have several different 3.5mm to RCA jacks for this reason. You have to check continuity from the jack terminals to the cable to verify which one is needed.
I recently fixed my headphone jack of my computer. I put tweezers in the jack and bent the tiny metals pins a bit more to the middle. So that it pinches more on my headphone jack. Maybe try it out!
If you have or can get hold of the AV cable for the creative Zen vision m, that should solve your problem. There are different spec cables out there, two of whom I've found sound similar to your troubles. Using this cable solved it.
There are no analog tv channels for the old analog tuner to pick up with an antenna. To watch tv on it you need to put a digital tuner through the av input.
You could get another adapter cut the end and try wondering it directly to the underside of the PCB. At least that would help you determine if it is the adapter the jack or something else.
I did some testing with my LVD-404 model, and it seems like the video signal comes through using a stereo sound jack, that is TRRS type, even if the TV doesn't seem to even use the other sound channel. However, sound channel goes through the jack tip, and video is the collar ring after it. Cause you seem to be using a mono sound jack (TRS), the need for delicate alignment might be due to the video ring not making a firm contact?
When i was a kid i had a secret base under my bed where i played with my GBA and i had a battery bulb to light there, it would be freaking awesome if i could had a little TV to plug a console there...
If any focus and screen adj. Presets are there on that PCB, just tune it and observe the changes in picture clarity & brightness and also look for any other hidden dry solderings and clean the ribbon connectors also on PCB...!!!
The AV jack might have a lot of corrosion/oxidization in it. Solution could be to take the cotton off of one end of a q-tip/cotton bud, soak the end of the stick in rubbing alcohol, and insert it into the av port to scrub around a bit. Only works if your cotton buds have paper sticks though, not plastic.
So, one thing you can try, swap audio and video signals on the a cable you're using. I've had to do a similar thing to use the AV signals on my raspberry pi. Those jacks aren't standardized across the world. The US, UK and Japan use different standards for pretty much all of those.
Most headphone or audio jacks have small pins inside that can be bent back into place if its not working correctly. Most likely what happened was it wore out and the pins cant make good contact anymore. I have fixed countless controllers with this issue without replacing the headphone jack. Hope this helps!
A little deoxit inside the connector wouldn't hurt. Rather than buying a new connector, it may be easier to cut the wires and re-solder them on the jack side.
Given the Seiko TV is from a Japanese auction then it's probably NTSC only. If you're trying to input a PAL signal the resultant video output will have noticeable colour distortion, which can't be corrected due to the differences in how NTSC and PAL are each encoded. Try inputting a NTSC signal through it (if you happens to own a video/game device capable of NTSC output ) and see if it makes any difference.
You should solder some clips or leads to the back of board where the jack connects, then attach to your video signal and see if it is just the plug or something else, then diagnose from there.
I think I know how you can fix it but you won't like it. Recently I've been on a binge of repair videos and I stumbled across Macho Nacho Productions restoring a Turbo Express. It worked fine but the screen was dim and the audio output was extremely low. By replacing the capacitors it made a world of difference. At 2:59 in your video you can see there are at least 4-8 capacitors behind the circuit board. My guess is these are very old and aren't doing a good job atm. You know much more about this me but I thought I just ought to point it out! Great content as always Elliot!!
I really don't think this is a cap issue as the tv IS working as long as the connector is seated correctly. Not that a recap would hurt its better to fix the actual problem first before conducting a spray and pray recap.
@@NoshAbroad Capacitors in CRTs can often fail but they can just spring a leak too. The electrolyte fluid in the capacitor can damage the board in unpredictable ways. Looks like there is a capacitor near the jack too. It's a pain to do but almost any 20+ year old device with capacitors is going to have this problem. You may be right but he's going to have to do a cap replacement eventually during the restoration process.
@@Bleats_Sinodai yes, but i first tout that there was a tiny little crt display inside, but nope, BTW i can see it’s an outdated lcd screen ,hence it’s smearry video quality and poor color reproduction.
I would buy a jack and try soldering the connectors in different places - I doubt this conforms to any sort of standard, so finding a ready made adapter would be tricky.
Hey, Elliot, there is a tiny red retro looking tele on Aliexpress WITH hdmi. Not to be confused with this bluetooth speaker that looks like a tiny TV. Seems interesting, I don't know. You could try to check it out. Cheers.
it would probably be a little work but it might be better to remove all the jacks you are not going to use and just have the av cables go directly into it rather than having the breakout cable. this would require a little probing to see exactly which solder pad is connected to which terminal in the current port. then a little more wiring between the pads and the new ports on the side. you may be able to remove the tuner because well it doesnt have a signal anymore this would probably help with battery life as well.
Omg i want something like that. I had an issue with a portable color radioshack crt tv and i almost fixed it but i accidentally shorted the CRT bulb while poking around with a multimeter.
Wonder if they make digital signal converters for those things. Would also love to see a digital converter for that one gamegear accessory tbh. Awesome piece of tech! Hope you find a solution for its issue.
If the jack is somewhat working and in there delicately, and you’ve had to reverse the cables, t’s likely the wrong adapter, and using it has probably damaged the jack itself. You may be able to resuscitate the jack, as the adapter has probably got some bent contacts inside. I hope you’ve got steady hands.
Of the plug is the right size I wouldn’t have thought it would be the cable? Probably the Jack I’d say as it’s a lose connection I think. See if you can see if the little metal connections are worn or bent? But you may as well try different AV plus first as it’s easier.
Elliot I’m just going to say you really make my day every time you upload keep it up man hopefully one time we can meet I’m really Interested in this stuff too one time we can maybe collab
Probably your are using a stereo mini jack (3 connections/2 black rings) .If you push it in all the way you short de connections out. I think you need to use a mono mini jack. (2 connections/1 black ring). If you are already using a mono connector, try a stereo mini jack connector.
If you know the signals, you could solder wire to those points from the old connector and use a connector you know works. That would at least let you know all else is ok.
I would remove the board and check all solder joints corresponding to the connector. Furthermore, I would remove the old solder of that very bad joint and replace it with fresh one instead of just reflowing it.
yeah thats a wrong adapter, the audio and video pins are reversed on that one. Thats usually how you can tell is if it will only work when half or partially way in.
It sounds like you have the same issue as I do with my Phillips portable DVD iPod video player as I have to leave jack out just a little for video. Seems we both need a different cable or replace the jacks. Not sure.
5:44 The pin on the right still isn't soldered correctly. It probably isn't your problem because it looks like it's not on the input connector but you might want to completely resolder it when you have the chance.

that jack should be a stereo type plug. just find out which of the 3 pins is ground any everything will become clear.
You should connect it by soldering a wire to the other end of the trace on the motherboard.
