Hi all.
Currently having issues with video and output. My screen is currently being powered either by my external power supply (12V in) or batteries which I have in a series configuration (7.4v). I thought that this was interference but I grounded the shielding at both ends of the RGB lines and I still get these weird vertical lines when I boot up the console. After hard resetting the console 2, 3 times I don't experience this issue much at all and the video holds sync. When I reset the console very quickly (I.e turn it on and off in the space of a few seconds, PM loads without fail everytime)
I know the Wii isn't the issue here since I can still faintly see portablizemii behind all of the wavy lines, plus my Bluetooth module works fine as I can sync all of my wiimotes up. I moved my regulators as far away as I could from the video lines as i thought the inductors of the PTHs were generating a lot of airborne interference but, that still hasn't fixed the issue either.
Should I try and bypass the onboard buck converter and supply the board with either 5v or 3.3v instead of straight from the power source? I haven't tried twisting the sync lines with GND yet. Keep in mind this issue only happens a few times when I boot the console. Other times, portablizemii works fine with zero interference whatsoever. Could this be something to do with a shitty fixed frequency buck converter rather than interference?
Here are pics of what I explained above:
My driverboard: KYV-N2 V6
Console working just fine with native VGA 480p video output after a few hard resets. No interference here or wavy lines.
Booting to postloader just fine too. All colors displaying as they should.
Annoying video on initial startup of the console.
