Greetings everyone,
I recently pulled my Gravitar out of stoage to put it into rotation in my gameroom and noticed that when I turn it on, I tend to get what I can only describe as 'vector alignment' issues where the lines drawn on the screen don't line up properly and the screen looks 'shifted'.
Here's some pics of what I'm talking about:
If I power cycle the game quickly (like a rapid off/on switch; all within a second) then the game will almost always start back up lined up just fine and looking like what you see in the following pictures. Alignment looks good, but it appears that some of the vectors are 'weak'.
I'm pretty concerned about what potential damage is being done by the shotgun power cycle procedure... so far it has (mostly) produced the desired result of clearing up the game, but I'm expecting the whole situation to go *poof* at some point if I continue doing this....
I'd appreciate any comments on what is wrong. To my knowledge, nothing in the game has ever been repaired/replaced, so it's pretty safe to say everything is original. I picked up the game from the original owner, so it's been HUO since delivery.
Thanks!
