Whats up! The screen on my MK2 Arcade is only 1 color. No matter how I change all
the white knobs in the back the screen only stays one solid color. It's basically a one color film over the screen. I can see all the colors but it has a solid one color screen.

I plugged in a MK1 Board & I can fix the color just fine.

Is the MK2 Board shot? Thanks for helping out if you can.
 
post pictures! :)

you could very well have a bad board. though it's not a common problem (considering I've never heard of it happening on MK2) it's possible that you might have a problem in the video section on your board.

the fact that it doesn't happen on your MK1 board in the same machine can at least rule out the monitor being at fault.

unless you somehow got unlucky and lucky and positioned your JAMMA wiring the wrong way when MK2 was plugged in and you have a short in your RGB wiring and you pinched it the right way to work with MK1.. that I've seen. :) the stock Midway JAMMA harnesses have a tendency to crap out.

just for the hell of it, try gently wiggling the wires on your JAMMA harness with your MK2 plugged in to see if the colors change at all.

if not, then it's most likely a board issue.
 
Thanks for the fast reply. I will try out what you said. I will post pictures later on today.

I figured it was the board because I checked everything else about 100 times.
Check this post later to look the pics.

Thanks Again.
