I have built one of these about 4 - 5 years ago when i didn't have that many monitors.

It was painful but it worked.
I know it sounds silly but have you followed all the instructions properly?
I would check to make sure all your cut and hacks were right.
Have you tried this on another TV (could be the projector doesn't like the A520?)
I will have to dig through my boxes to see if i can find again (if you want me too).

This is actually a nice mod to do if you only have TV (without SCART) to work with much better picture than a stock A520.

P.S.
I assume you double check all your orientation of your resistors with the colour image?

You don't remember you turd? i guess that you wouldn't since it must be part of how you are let just say a certain 060 for a A1200...

As for staying at home and typing LOL that funny well if you ever get to Sydney come over I will more than happy to have you spend the rest of your stay here in hospital.

Don't assume just because i am a nerd that you know what I can or can't do or have done.

Anyway enough with the Hijacking of the thread.

The Mod works you just have to be extra careful, maybe because i am not that good (back then) with the soldering Iron i was always triple checking what i was doing. Then again maybe that projector doesn't like the A520 or some component is broken/burnt?
