Lost sound on a modified PAL Sony

[Lurker]

sweet! sorted.

Partner arrived home from Cello rehearsal and provided the requisite number of hands to hold the SIF wire to the board while I played with the ground.... a couple of short circuits later and got sound.

Going to drop in on my brother tomorrow and his handy soldering iron for a permanent resolder

thanks all

Here are some photos of mine. cables aren't that tidy as I was intending to fit my own SMD version at some stage.

I should point out that I originally did a MKII audio mod, replacing the Micronas chip, but I think the SIF pickup point should still be the same.

I should also mention that the black wire you see coming from the white stereo cable is to ground the cable shield at one end only. The sheild should not be connected to anything at the other end.

Thats brilliant thanks, it points out the bit that confused me.

On mine the ground audio wire and the ground wire to the PSU were both soldered together on the middle pin of 3 on the circuit board - which meant I could not see where the ground wire had de-soldered from.
