Atari 7800 s-video mod troubles

Post by fredthezombie »

Hello everyone, I am trying to mod my 7800 but a possible diode broke. In the attached picture the one that broke is circled in red next to the chip that needs to be removed for the mod to work, does anyone know what this is or where I could get a replacment or doner? ANy help is appreciated, thanks!

It doesn't look broken in the pic. How did it break? Might be possible to fix it rather than trying to identify it for a replacement. I'm not sure if it's a diode, looks like a cap actually.

Thanks for the reply but that was a picture before it broke. Either way I've just completed the mod after a few difficulties but was very worth it!
