Love the game but man, lots of threads about issues and heres mine. Help is appreciated.
Fortunately, the game works now. Just an oddity i want to take action against.
So, the game was left on overnight by mistake (had a friend over and left the room in haste). I did install a fan by the way(below the WG monitor, blowingup).
When i came home today and saw my err, The left side of the monitor was blank - only the right side showed. Turned the game off, pulled it out of its slot, opened up the back, waited an hour. Turned it on again - still no left side. I can move the guy to the left side but dont see it. Turned it off, checked the soldering on the back neck with Continuity tester - get buzzes (thats good). Really have no idea what i am looking for at this point.
Turned the game on, and it works now, as i expected - at some point i figured the heat would subside returning the game to normal. So the heat affected something - but where? I would like to fix it (bad solder joint somewhere?). Which board would control the left side from being amiss?
-- The neck board?
-- The larger board to the right of the WG monitor (whats it called?)
-- The smaller board above the larger board, hidden away in a metal cage?
Or am i off track - could it be the main PCB (or AR2)?
Once you help me identify the culprit board, should i just take it out / buzz around looking for bad solder joints?
Thanks KLOV!
