Hello spensor
hmm...
XP2 - power.
I have a 5-pin socket in my console, and a 7-pin socket here.
if you look at it, it turns out that I connected GND to NC, and +5 to +5, as it should.
It doesn't seem like it should work.
but the strange thing is that on the 9 meter channel in this situation vertical
gradient stripes, red-blue-green.
what would that mean?

Hello ch41ns4w
ch4> I have a 5-pin socket in my set-top box, and here it’s a 7-pin socket.
As far as I remember, the wiring on the board was universal. Basically find out
somewhere, no problem - +5V goes to the leg of almost any logical
chips with the maximum number, GND to the maximum number/2. Well or on
legs Z80 (11 +5V, 29 GND).
It all depends on what kind of picture and what kind of TV (maybe there is such a smart one that
if there is no signal, it draws stripes). There is an option when a computer without ROM draws
vertical stripes in full screen - #FF (code RST38) is read from an empty bus and
percent executing this command fills the stack (all available memory, RAM, including
including VideoRAM) by the return address, that is, in this case, code #0038.
You will see a binary display of this code on the screen - if I’m not mistaken three
and two-pixel stripes in white-blue-black colors.

When there is no signal, my mailbox draws a blue background.

I shouldn’t be a metal worker. Now I'll try to connect the power as written
according to the scheme. And maybe I’ll screenshot the magic stripes. :)

Hello ch41ns4w
Launched. There's a lot of interference in Tuev's box, but he doesn't care about that - the spec seems like garbage
The screen sometimes gurgles with a beeper, sometimes it gets stuck on reset.
It turned out that the ROM was killed. Overheats.
In general, all the necessary information on replacing the ROM has already been received (thx2jtn),
All that remains is to decide on this great feat.
