Has anyone seen this before?  I had not heard of this until this video...

I've seen it before but I had never really looked into just what it was. Not something I would have a use for but it does look nice, if you got all the parts that is lol.

[TrekMD]

Yes, I thought it was cool but it's not for everyone.

Use of VMU colours and icons can help a bit...

Hmm, that's interesting.  No idea what that is.  Mine is NTSC but it doesn't have that wire and I can't seem to find anything about it online.

[Shadowrunner]

Yeah that's really strange. I've never seen that before but I would guess it's some kind of mod. You could always ask the seller to open it up and see what the wire is connected to. Might give you a better idea of what it's for.

[TrekMD]

Interesting.  I'm quite curious.  The wire looks like the type of antenna some clocks have.

Odd looking. Havent seen anything like that before.

Never seen anything like that before.

Maybe its a mod to improve the system clock? Longer battery life + radio signal?

Immediately popped in my head it was the ground wire going to the laser transport, ie; why it won't read disks.
But, I know little of the DC internals so any guess is as good. Would be interesting to find out what that little bugger goes to!

[davyk]

Could be just a disconnected wire as you say. The simplest explanation is usually correct.

[TrekMD]

This may be of interest...

Nice to know that exists. I still have TVs with VGA so I'll be staying with that for the time being.
