Hey all, just a quick update.

I've finally received all the required parts for the mod. I had also been talking to one of the maintenance engineers at my office about this mod and he said he would be happy to build it for me. I'll be meeting with him tomorrow, after work, to get it done.

I'll try to post some pics of the mod and the work he does. Then once I've calibrated the video, I'll post some comparisons.

Got an update for you guys! Here's the work that was done last night:

Here's the finished mod. As you can see, we used some really big overkill capacitors, but only because we couldn't find anything smaller (lol)
We decided to use hole in that small bit of metal just above the mod board

Here's a shot of it mounted - due to the oversized capacitors, we had to face it down

My colleague and his friend decided to pull everything directly off the board on top, as they said that the signal from there was electrically the same as the PALB board

By the time we finished, it was already 1AM, so we didn't really have time to test much. When I got home, I tested it and believe I experienced the same issue as jamski68, due to the resistor on the input. The video was very dark. My colleague had told me that he wanted to follow the original diagram and that if we experienced the dark video, he would simply clip off the resistor.

With luck, we'll be able to meet again tonight to clip off the resistor. We should then have ample time to properly test out and tweak things.

I'll then get back to you guys with another update. :)

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you all know that my brother and I managed to successfully mod the player. Works like a charm!

Many thanks, once again, to all those that helped make this happen. :)
