Hmm. Definitely could be a short somewhere that I have n way of isolating. it's kind of embarrassing, I have box of cables of all sorts in my house but just the 2 pieces of S-video so I have no way of troubleshooting.

Oh well, guess I'm watching "Strangers on a Train" this evening.



Check for bent pins - S-Video and VGA cables are notorious for one pin getting bent which is often the cause for the partial signal. I wouldn't be using couplers by the way- they're evil- kinda like using duct tape.
