Having problems with Street Fighter Alpha 3... D'oh!

So about 3 weeks ago I was checking out the buttons on Street Fighter Alpha 3 (customers complained about soft buttons) and then i did a bad thing; I unplugged the game cart from it's base while it was on.

Now I have vertical lines in the background (not on the full image and not on the fighting characters). It seems like it might be a loose connection with the game cart and it's base (lines go away if I put extreme pressure on the cart down towards the pug in base).

Any suggestions how to fix? Anyone in/near Minneapolis, MN wanna come down and take a look?

Also There's a KLOV member that has a replacement but it's from Mexico. Will that work in my current machine?

Thanks,

Sounds like broken/bent pins on the a board where it connects to the b board. Pull the a and b apart and look carefully at the b board connector sockets on the a board to see if any of the gold pins are bent or broken. Do this before reseating the two boards.
