Anyone suffering from unusually dark scart RGB output see this thread for a simple hardware fix:

Interesting. I have the same problem with my D3A board, and need to turn the TV contrast to maximum to get a watchable picture.

Can you confirm that the resistors are R110, R111 and R112 on the underside of the board?

That's OK, I traced the connections from the SCART and confirmed that those are indeed the right resistors. Then I nixed* them. Result - a much better picture, just needs the brightness turning up slightly on the set to be perfect.

Many thanks for the suggestion.

* Gripped each resistor in turn with a fine pair of round-nose pliers, then pulled. The body of the component broke away leaving the terminations behind. Repeat at your own risk!!
