@Gwion:

 1- Are you 100% sure you're using a PAL Amiga and A520?

 2- The Amiga is set to PAL? What A2000 version you have?

 3- For 100% sure: the A/V is routed from the side RCA connector (Video out)?

 4- Are using the "tick" signal (J012 set to "external") in a 50Hz voltage system (outlet frequency)? 50Hz Amigas will experience not-so-funny behaviour other way.

 5- Did you try a game or in Workbench? Workbench screenmode is set to more than 2 colours?
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

J102 is right next to Agnus and the crystal.

_TICK doesn't matter here at all, it's there to provide a stable time base for the CIA counters in case you switch vertical frequency (which is used in A1000 & A500).

Why don't you use the composite out from the motherboard?

The J102 is there it just doesn't have the pins.

Open J102 is PAL, so either just leave it open or cut the trace.

I doubt it he would have any output on modulator if the fuse was blown, I didn't (IIRC it was the +12V fuse)
Better sorry than worry.

I have the same problem :(
Just bought an Amiga 500 with A520 which works fine, colored output.
But when I connect it to my Amiga 2000 rev6, it gives me grayscale output :(

Either your A520 is PAL and your using ntsc or vice versa. A2000s DO NOT change pal/ntsc with just jumper its the a4k that has that feature. Your problem is def PAL/NTSC
