This color is somewhat important for a golf game. When I picked up the game, the screen was bright green when turned on (nothing hooked up, as the hard drive was broken). Now the screen has a bright red background with white text when turned on and booting up. I know the board is good because it was tested be a fellow KLOVer about a week ago on his machine.
After getting a new power supply hooked up and a new hard drive put in, the game boots up and plays fine, but there is no green color, just red and white. I checked the green/black wire that goes into the JAMMA connector for "green" and it is in there snug. I then pulled out a JAMMA pin that wasn't being used and plugged that into the green hole and re-spliced the wire just to make sure the connection was good at the board. I also checked the wiring up to the monitor and it seems ok. Maybe a cracked solder joint on the chassis for the header pins that this connector plugs into? The monitor is a 33" Pentranic model 1132.
Is there a way to test the output signal on the green wire to isolate this problem to the monitor area and not the JAMMA connector? I know a scope can do this, but I don't have a scope.
Thanks
