Asteroids G05-802 Test Image Question: What Am I looking At?
So I've been working on my Asteroids this weekend and have done the following:
From Bob Roberts...
G05 Cap kit with Xistors
Asteroids Cap Kit
Big Blue Replacement
AR board rebuild kit
Replaced all Power Supply Fuses
So after shotgunning all of this, it behaves and looks exactly the same way as it did prior. While it may be good preventative maintanence, it got me no further to a working cabinet. Right now I get the spot killer image with blinking player buttons. I'm pretty sure I have a board problem, but there may be another issue too. I've searched the net and had trouble finding what the image on an Asteroids is supposed to look like if you have the spot killer and flip the test switch.
This is what I get. Does this look normal? Or should the image look different? Anyone have a picture to compare? If I move the pots on the PCB it basically moves this square around in the left lower quardrant only.
I'm going to have to most likely find a working board or get mine fixed, but I'd like to know if my monitor may need adjustment too. By the way I replaced all 4 transistors on the G05.
