MS8 18A. It misses a wire..

Post by erzane »

Just discovered that a brown wire is missing on the 6pin connector who goes to the jamma to give image, but I didn't notified any bad result on it. It looks like somebody cutted it. Should I replace?

There's no pin on the jamma harness for vertical sync.

Nothing is missing. There's just one sync wire from the jamma connector and that's composite sync (H+V). It's normal to send that to the H sync pin on the monitor input header and leave the V sync pin unconnected. Lots if not all monitors are like that and btw do you have sync problems? No, so what are you trying to fix?

Manfacture don't cut any wire. To me it's a missing wire cutted by the last owner, so I just want to make as was at basis.

most looms do not have this wire, if it did then it would terminate in an interconnector and go nowhere- I think you are being a bit ocd

If it's not broken, fix it until it is broken.

I don't know how to fix this, but I'm amazed with erzane's drawing skills.

Familiar :lol:

I would like to fix this issue since (if I wait some days - after a break - before starting the cab) the image take time to be stable.
If I wire this V sync like this, can I have a problem or is it safe to try?
