Not only that but the quality your receive from PCBWay is beyond dreadful. We got a lot of completely defective boards from them, they literally had shorted traces in random spots. Go with JLCPCB, at...

I would suspect the main system oscillator (28.6363 Mhz), since new ones are unobtanium it was probably recycled from an old board, and it might be failing.

Check what's printed on the oscillator can on the motherboard. I also wonder if the oscillator frequency might have drifted too much to get the colourburst at the correct frequency.

I am assuming your A520 is a PAL variant, in which case you need to have an A500 with a 28.375 MHz oscillator. If your A500 has a 28.6363 MHz oscillator (ntsc model), you will get a B/W output out of...

The ZZ9000 has a special TF536 firmware, although with the latest 536 fw update, it might work with a regular firmware as well, but this is untested as we don't have anyone to test it.

Well no, even the few units shipped with 8372 still came configured as 512K chip and 512K slow. You had to do physical modifications on the motherboard to change this to 1MB Chip ram.
