Hi my Neo Geo AES was working fine for 2 months then the screen switched to black and white when I was playing Samuari showdown 5. I have tried other games and they are all black and white too. I tried a SNES in the same scart port and that's works fine.
I'm sure it's the colorburst crystal 4.43mhz, are these easy to replace?
Thanks

Did you try switching input modes on TV ? Try from Composite to RGB ?

Thanks I tried both RGB and the other input on the TV both black and white still, I'm sure it is the colorburst crystal because it was full color for 2 months in the RGB scart input.
Does anyone know when they mod a neo geo with a 60/60Hz switch do they replace the colorburst crystal? This would fix the problem.

I have checked the Scart plug and it only has 6 pins on it because it was meant for Super Nintendo use, and have noticed all the Neo Geo scart plugs on ebay have a full set, could this be the problem?

Really odd I tried it with a different TV a Tevion and it works perfectly, then tried it again with the LG and it works again.
