Switched Snes RGB problem

[eretsua]

Since it?s SNES week it seems like an opportune time to ask this?

I have a UK SNES with a 50/60hz switch. When I hook it up to my Sharp 20inch lcd-tv using either my official Nintendo RGB cable or a cheap 3rd party one I get a beautiful picture for a moment and then the screen grows a lot darker!


Everything is still very faintly visible but it?s extremely dark and totally unplayable. Anyone know what causes this problem? And better yet how do I fix this?

When I hook up the snes using the original supplied composite cable it works fine in both 50hz & 60hz?but I want to play with it using an RGB-cable.


Thank you very much for trying to help me!



Just to make sure:

My TV does supports NTSC / 60hz signals.
GameCube (pal) with RGB is no problem (including imports)
PS2 (pal) with RGB is no problem (including imports)

You need to open up the SCART connector and remove the capacitors from the R, G and B lines to get it to work with a PAL SNES.

Arigatou gozaimasu!
I just applied that mod to my cheap RGB-cable and now it works great!
