This is my first post, so I hope you don't get mad when I just start with a technical question.
I bought a Sega Saturn with one game (Thunderhawk 2) in Ebay for just 9 bucks. The problem is, there is no AV cable, so I can't connect the device with my TV...
Well, I thought I just open it, and solder in a RCA connector. After I searched for the pinout, I soldered in everything correctly. The multimeter said, every connection is fine and there are no short circuits.
The problem now: When I start the Saturn, I can't hear sound and I don't see anything. My TV changes from blue (No signal) to black (signal, but no picture) and I also don't hear sound, but the power LED lights and the disc is being read.
I double checked everything, there shouldn't be any problems. It was strange after I opened the beast, because everywhere there were rust spots on the metal shielding under the mainboard... There's a small chip on the mainboard, which has two pins that don't have contact (I assume). After a short testing with the multimeter I figured out, that there definately is no contact (maybe i was just wrong, because the spear of the multimeter is way too big for the small pins of that chip).
I live in Germany and it's a PAL device. I will test out if the S-video version works, but I'm kinda confused, because Pin 1 is supposed to be "sync", but there is a note which says, that pin 1 on PAL devices is +9 Volt...
Maybe someone knows about this problem.

Uhm, my english is not the best so please don't judge me

The pins may look burned, but they dont have contact as far as I can see... Dont worry, no short circuits or else.
