D9200 worked fine in Golden Tee Fore, now flickers in Race Drivin

Here are two videos of the problem:

Is there any way to remedy this? I've tried resetting the monitor to factory settings and double checked that it's set to display in medium res.

I thought I posted this in the monitor help section--if someone with such power could move this...

Make sure in the Race Drivin that only the negative horizontal sync is connected to the monitor. If negative horizontal and negative vertical were jumpered, pull the vertical sync jumper out of the connector.

This fixed the flickering, but now when I turn the steering wheel the monitor loses the signal (screen goes black). Only other thing I have done is swap out the ZRAM chips so it saves my calibration settings now. Once again, a video:

You can also see the text has a slight "bleed" to it.
 
luke....brotha...


why did you take the old monitor out???

back when i first got this game the monitor died and i sent the chassis off to chad..


in the meantime i tried several diff monitors so i could play.., for some reason they all pickup motor noise form the steering motor and it pisses them off... older monitors had snow, newer menu monitors would cut out, etc etc.


the only fix was for me to have my original monitor repaired and i put it back in, and luckily thats what i planned on doing anyways.


TO see if motor noise is pissing off this particular monitor your using, unplug the connectors from the motor amp pcb(left side of cab) and see if the monitor starts behaving. DO NOT unplug thr motor itself... youll let the transistors in that steering pcb flot and theyll destroy themselves... so its either put the original monitor back in or find another one thats the same model #

I took out the monitor because the screen went blank when I was adjusting the brightness using the flyback's brightness adjustment knob. I saw in other threads that doing that will mess it up, but I couldn't get it to come back. I also saw your thread about switching monitors without success, but that just doesn't make sense why only one type of monitor in the whole world agrees with the steering motor.

I'll probably put it all back as doing so will save me the cost of buying a new LCD to use with my Golden Tee, since I was borrowing its monitor for this test.
 
that sucks man. INow i feel likea total douchebag...

seriously, it didnt give me any grief since i had it fixed... damn man..


the only thing i could think of is mabye somehow the power supply this monitor used is somehow isolated more then any other monitor or something..
