Hi,
As long as I've owned my DK, intermittently the monitor would start showing a scrambled image. I posted this question a long time ago, and was told that it was likely losing sync and to check the two adjustments on the video board (I have the 2 pcb set) - this didn't resolve the issue, and over time the situation got worse.
It finally became where if the game was on for about 5 minutes, it would lose sync and play blind - I could flip the on/off and it would restart fine, but the time frame that it would work properly would shorten increasingly each time I restarted the game.
I have since purchased a (supposedly) known working EZ chassis, and am getting the same scrambled image from the word go with no intermittent working Turning it on and off made no difference. Assuming at this point that I might have a bad board, I purchase a known working board from a reputable seller here - same scrambled image. You can occasionally make out words on the screen and images from the game in the scrambled images.
So - two different EZ chassis' and two different pcbs. I have the feeling at this point that the PCBs are likely fine as the game plays blind with both (and I tried adjusting the 2 adjustments on the new pcb video board to no avail). I double checked every cable connection and everything appears to be fine.
Is there something obvious from the photo that I might be overlooking? Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this?
Thanks!
