Help Needed with A3000 Flicker Fixer
« on: September 23, 2005, 11:50:07 PM »
Hi guys

I just got an A3000D in and the VGA out (flicker fixer) doesnt work with NTSC modes - the screen is just mostly garbage of green and black - however for some reason the Productivity mode comes up pretty decent though squiggly.

I tried adjustin the pot adjustment for the flicker fixer but that did not help, also changed out the AMBER chip but same problem.

Any ideas what to do next or what chips/components to check? I noticed the batt had slight leakage but i cleaned up most of the slight corrosion that was there..

Any help is appreciated as an a3k without flicker fixer is useless.. and its rather weird the productivity modes display.

Thanks for the reply guys. I havent tried PAL yet. Just the productivity mode. Besides the actual Amber chip what chips/circuits control the flicker fixer?

Also, if anyone wants to buy it I can sell it for $150
