What exactly is wrong with your A520? Did you pop that internal chip? I can't remember what the chip number was, but if it's blown, and you remind me what it is, I can more than likely repair it for you.

The sound is not working in my a520.The picture or video portion is ok, or it was when i tried it many years ago.I have it somewhere around the house.Im in ireland so im a long distance away but thanks for the offer.


Yeah, they run off the same chip, so if that wasn't it, it's just a simple RCA jack replacement, probably. My Mum's from Enniskillen. All the more reason to help out my fellow Mick, but okay. ;)

Everyone's right, though. If you have an RGB cable, use that instead. You'll get a *MUCH* better picture and the A520's were always a bit twitchy.

Yeah i have the rgb cable so im good.The a520 was a bit unwieldy and cumbersome device in that it protruded out the back of the miggy.Maybe ill look at it sometime and see if it can be fixed.I mostly played games on the 500 back in the day and never used much productive software so i thought id give it a go.Fermanagh must be nice though ive never been up north before i must admit.Your a long way from home but then again ther's no shortage of Irish people in america either.


Nah. First Gen on my Mum's side. Her side of my family emigrated from Ireland to Vancouver (they don't like my teasing they were terrorists. XD) My Dad's from an Indian Res on Oklahoma. I was born in Alaska. ;)

Been to Ireland, once, back when my Nanna passed back in 2008. I promised to scatter her ashes in Enniskillen. Best week of my life. Met more "cousins" than I could count, when I mentioned my last name was Kennedy. ;) I should have been in mourning, but instead, spent it happily drunk, not thinking of what I was there to do. When I left, I was quite happy have done what I promised.

Part Indian and part Irish is an interesting mix.Farely rare id wager.The indian peoples have often been portrayed on telly and movies in such a cliched fashion it must be a tad amusing to watch at times.Come to think of it so have the Irish.The 1990's was particularily bad for this in terms of hollywood.

Yeah, the older Native Americans are a lot more tolerant, compared to the younger ones. The younger ones are more militant, angry and bitter. Many a time, I was called "half-breed."

Glad you enjoyed your visit.Now if only we could jettisson all of the Irish politicians into a black hole somewher,never to be seen again all would be right in the universe.:biglaugh:

Make sure that black hole has room for the American ones too! ;)
