After warming up sometimes the lines go away, sometimes not. I just got the board repaired by Dick but wanted to see if it was a simple fix before mailing it out again.

I also tried the board in my DK3 and it came up with the same issue, so I decided to reseat all the roms and found this at 5A :

Found this on Brasingtons DkJr logs, gonna give it a shot tomorrow :
Lots of speckeled diaganol lines usually means one of the video adjustment POTS is broken. You can short a 10K ohm resistor across it and see if it clears up. It is common for these pots to be physically broken

Do you see any change when adjust these pots? Put a DMM on them and see if the values change. Usually I think the diagonal speckled lines caused by this issue are so prominent that you cannot play the game. Good luck and keep us posted.
