So i decided to use my dc on my hd tv theres 3 scart sockets in the back I tried all of them and it doesnt work...i can hear the sound in the background of the game but cant see jack on the screen its pitch black however when I turn the console on i can if i get extremely close to the screen make out the dreamcast logo if I bend my head over the tv that is.

I bought another scart lead incase it was that but I them both on my old standard tv and the dc works perfect with both leads???? im confused dunno if I should purchase the vga box/cable.

Just want to be sure that after trying the DC on you HDTV, you tried it on a standard TV without issues.

Because 2 years ago, my DC stopped displaying picture, but all the sounds could be heard. The GPU was fried, in my case.

I can't actually help your issue, sorry, but I just wanted to make sure that your DC wasn't gone.

maybe you can switch your scart-input(s) between ntsc and pal or between vhs/svhs/rgb or something like that, check the menus or manual.

The DC has great RGB signal via the scart lead (if its the proper one and not a composhite one with missing pins) so make sure its receiving RGB. BUT, even when RGB is enabled SCART always carries standard video (composhite) too so you should be getting a picture.

Weird indeed.

I remember with the original playstation i bought some scart cables from overseas that didnt work. It turned out they had the japanese scart pinout that differs from the standard euro version. Probably not the case here , but worth a mention none the less
