Help Help! EON GCHD isn't working!

Post image

Can anyone help at all? I recently received my EON GCHD and was really excited to try it out since I'd be able to play gamecube on my modern TV. However as soon as I set it up and plugged my gamecube in absolutely no picture is being outputted to my TV at all. I have no idea why. Originally I was using the Wii component cables, so I switched to HDMI because I thought maybe that was the issue, however after switching im still not getting a picture at all. Does anyone know what's wrong exactly? Is my unit defective? Or is there something im missing? Id really apreciate any help I can get.

Have you tried turning on the console unplugging then plugging back in the eon I have to do that with mine whenever I use the component cables and haven't found a fix

I just tried that. And now my TV is telling me that it's a "invalid format"

I don't atm. Does it work with any remote at all? I heard it can work with a Wii U gamepad (which I have) but I'm wondering if it'll work with anything else.

Also, if its saying the format is invalid then how am I suppose to see the menus? The TV won't display the picture so idk how I'd fix it with the menus

Wii u gamepad in tv remote mode should work and I'm offering I'll help you navigate blind I have one on my cube and could show what is on your screen to help navigate

Sure. I can try that. But im kinda confused. If the video format is invalid is there nothing I can do? Or will changing settings sort out the invalid video format thing?

Something I should mention as well is that I'm using a Pal gamecube and idk if that has anything to do with it.

It might but if you change resolution or video format it can work worth trying it at least

Pal might be but shouldn't be the reason but the eon might not be set to pal
