Texas Instruments Interface RVB PHA 2037 Repair
We begin to explain what is this PHA-2037. This interface/Converter for the Home Computer Texas Instruments TI-99/4a is used to convert the video signals from Component (Y/Pb/Pr) to RGB (Scart Standard).
The defect of the PHA-2037 that i have received for repairing is to display images without the “BLUE” color in this case of the Video Component “Pb”.
The problem was in one of the three LM 318 (Op Amp). Just replaced, the PHA-2037 has begun to work properly.
PS: How you can see from a photo a pin of a transistor has not been cut. Maybe it was better to do it. :D

Hi,
I got a PHA 2037 from eBay but unfortunately it didn’t work. The screen remains black, only sound can be heard. Do you have a circuit diagram of the device or another hint how to repair such a defect?
Best regards
Juergen
Salve,
da irriducibile “texano”, ho acquistato su eBay un PHA2037 per usare la scart (Peritel in origine). Sembra a posto ma ho notato che la prima colonna del video non è visibile. Sembra che il video sia shiftato a sinistra di 8 pixels, percui comincio a vedere i caratteri dalla colonna 2.
E’ possibile regolare nel PHA2037 (magari con trimmer) la pos. X ?
Esistono schemi del PHA2037?
Grazie e complimenti per il Vs. lavoro,
Alessandro Garoli

Ciao Alessandro, non ci sono regolazioni all’interno del PHA2037 , questo e’ un classico problema causato dal monitor/tv LCD o CRT , se hai occasione di provare con un’altro monitor magari CRT probabilmente sparisce.
hello,
Is there a way to connect the TI99/4A with DIN 6 pin audio/video connector to a LED TV with a composite Video RCA or HDMI connectors and audio RCA connectors?
