Once I used some jewelry wire to connect pins from a vga port on my PC to pins on the svideo port on my tv. Worked fine. It was black and white but I had a display.
Edit: I think I just connected the sync and then put the luma signal oitput into the composite video signal input.
Way Back in highschool, we convinced one of our friends who was selling drugs to pony up $300 for a used B52 speaker system, so we could throw raves (and he could sell more drugs.) Hes long since moved on, but we still have that b52 unit, and still use it for events.
20 years ago, a couple hours before one such event, the system was dead. I pulled off the cover, and found a scorched up resistor. I took a penny, soldered one of the clipped off leads to the edge of it, then with a multimeter, slowly dragged across the surface, until I found a point with the correct resistance value. I soldered the other lead on at that point, soldered the penny into the board, and its still working to this day!
I have a slim Playstation 2 still. It is modded. How is it modded?
Styrofoam in the disc tray sensor.
I can play burnt DVDs by just stating up a legit game (I have MGS2) and swapping the still spinning disc after the PS2 and Sony logos end, so long as the console doesn’t know the disc tray is open. The styrofoam prevents the console knowing the tray is open by keeping the button pressed down.
You can just do things. There’s no real rules.
