Oh, damn. That's too bad.

Yeah, that's probably the best solution. It will be nice for you to have LIPS back in action, even as a regular TV.

Thanks for the photo. Maybe the IC totally died. I see the NXP TDA19997HL/C1 HDMI SELECTOR IC selling on eBay for about $10 US. 🤷♂️

Curious, could you post a close-up photo of the chip, itself?

Oh, no. Not the LIPS -- legend! Have you seen this video (for troubleshooting, if nothing else), www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l5O....

Ugh. I have a radio on in the background at work, just to break the monotonous silence. That damn "song"is being played constantly. Every thime I hear that piano intro I know it's time to take a bio break.

Thanks. Yeah, I did a massive reorganization of my bench a couple of months ago. Way more elbow room now.

And then there's me... last week I ordered PCBs to make a diag264 cartridge, and then this past weekend I remembered I ordered these goodies from #TFW8b in April 2019. 🤦

Before your hands get cold... Coincidentally, I just upgraded my old-ish (and ellegedy non-hardware compliant) workbench PC from Win 10 to Win 11 using Flyby11 (github.com/builtbybel/F...). It worked a treat, and the computer runs smoother on Win 11. Just sayin'. 🤷♂️
