Damaged 3D chip?!

At any point have you pulled the videolead out of the back when the system was on?

This doesn't sound like an analog video error related to the A/V out on the console.

It sounds like was said, a damaged hardware component. All I can suggest is that you buy another, sorry

Also taking the machine apart, cleaning things up, and putting it back together could always work. It's a long shot, but worth it.

FYI I also had some odd 3D problems - in Jet Set Radio, transparent areas of sprites wouldn't render properly so all of the trees had big green boxes around them. The problem fixed itself.

This topic was pretty much concluded. Why start it again?

Hi dudes:

I have the same problem than gottaluvdc ( post #1 ) with the PowerVu Chip...

My console show distorted/glitched with 3D effects, it is malfunctioning. backgrounds and characters are distorted.

The error occurs straight away from a cold boot too

It do not works without CD in, just memory card is inserted...

Thanks in advanced.

Can you describe how exactly the games are messed up? Is it like faulty extrapolation, artifacting, warping, or what? I can diagnose the problem if more data is present.
