So, I have been working on a machine for a friend at his house, a Ms Pacman. It has been working fine, but I have been screwing around trying to get a HSSK working in it (I think I screwed that up..). Other than the HSSK, the machine has been working great.
Well, after giving up on the HSSK today, I went to put the machine back together and put it back in place. When I put the machine back and powered it up, the colors were off at the bottom of the screen (more green than normal). I unplugged it, moved the machine, checked all the connections, etc... still...
OK, so here is my question: After checking everything, the best I can tell is based on the orientation of the whole cabinet, the colors on the screen change. So, if the machine faces North the colors look fine. As I move the machine to face east the colors start going wacky, Face South and the whole screen gets greenish, face West and the machine starts getting better and back to North it looks good again... WTF?
Everything looked OK on the machine prior to me goofing around with it today, but when I put it back in the same spot, now the colors are goofy. I do not think it is anything environmental as it worked fine for the past month. I checked the power cord, connections, reseated chips... Nothing is moving around as I rotate the machine... Any thoughts???
