I have the feeling the socket is wired wrong.

hmmm, could be.. can you check on a real ST ?

Will do and I am going to create a patched start cable to swap those pins around to see if it works

It looks right, but I guess the numbering could still be wrong somewhere...

If one pins is wrong somehow, then others likely will be as well..

Yep just checked original ST and its the other way round for those two pins. They need to be swapped. I am going to check the other pins.

Will do a patch and send you the photos.

This may explain my yellow screen, as the same cable works fine on both my Megas.

ah crap... well booo me, but yay as seems we are about to solve another problem.. question is, what went wrong with my pin numbering :roll:

And can open up another line in the Exxos store.... Custom made STF monitor cables.

Icky, if you get a chance, can you please post a schematic for your working cable.

It might also be why my Ubeswitch doesn't work I guess?
