I have today off, so I'm putting the time to good use by getting chores done around the house.
I also decided to address an annoying issue my Bump N Jump had developed about a year ago. Sometimes there's no red when it boots up. Smacking the sides of the cabinet, or power cycling it, usually fixed the problem temporarily, but not always.
Today, with the house to myself, I pulled the cabinet out from the wall, and saw an incredibly obvious problem. The six prong connector that plugs into the monitor board was tilted up at a slight angle, meaning that the red prong, (the farthest prong to the right) was barely making a connection. I unplugged and replugged the connector straight, and the problem was fixed. I also tweaked the colors and black level so the picture looks perfect! (the highway had this weird purple tint to it before that always irked me.)
I imagine the connector was jostled loose in November 2009, when I moved from my bachelor pad to the "family house" with my fiance and her son (now my wife and stepson). That's right when the red started getting flaky.
Hurray for simple fixes!
