well what the problem is i bought a md1 scart lead from a shop boxed and it keeps flickering on and off, i have tested it on 2 mega drives and 2 teles same stuff so i assume its the scart, what i did notice though when i open the scart end up was that there is a small black wire looping from one scart pin to another and in one of the pins is a brown wire also connected, is this the black wire the sync and if it is it was my understanding that this should be attached to the metal shell not another pin. or it could be something else please advise

Sounds like a dry joint, this usually happens at the DIN plug end of the lead.

try disconnecting either pin 16 or pin 8 and see if it helps.
