DCE Internal ScanMagic / FlickerMagic issue

[sweetlilmre]

Hi,

I recently purchased an internal DCE ScanMagic / FlickerMagic. It arrived yesterday and I installed it last night. The issue I have is that interlaced modes flicker like mad (non interlaced are fine).

The orientation of the adapter is installed according to the docs:

Code: [Select]


[RGBPORT]
10 Wire Cable VGA Cable
     ^
     |
[LISA Adapter]
     ^
     |
2 Wire Cable
     ^
     |
[ALICE Adapter]


The chip adapter connections seem sound and the 2 wire adapter seem to be OK on both sides (haven't test with a multi-meter yet, but looks good).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Hi,

I'm not sure, the documentation says "ScanMagic / Flicker Magic". The board I clip onto the Alice chip consists of a chip bracket and two wires (which connect to the LISA adapter). I'm not sure what you mean by sockets?

It looks like the top most picture in this link:

Here is the ebay listing:

This was sold as a scan doubler and flicker fixer, so if its only the scan doubler, then I got ripped off...
