I have a Neotec 27E med res monitor with almost no range on the flyback screen setting. Basically, I just turn the screen adjustment a hair from all the way down and the retrace lines immediately show, even though the game itself is still too dark. Turning the screen adjustment all the way down makes the picture completely black, as it should. No amount of fiddling with the contrast or brightness pots can get me to a bright image without the retrace lines showing. The game itself looks fine, colors and focus look perfect, it's just the retrace lines causing the frustration.

What happened was that the game worked perfect, I transported it to someone's house, turned it on and the colors were off (turned out to be green missing). Thinking it was a plug that may have come loose, I wiggled the JAMMA plug, that's when it went all fruity with the retrace lines. I removed the JAMMA plug, noticed that the connector to the green signal was broken, and fixed it. Colors were good but had the retrace lines as described above.

I'm thinking that it's the flyback acting up. Could there be another cause ?

I know a picture says a thousand words but I can't get one right now so I'm hoping a thousand words will paint a picture...

BTW This chassis was already rebuilt with cap kit and new flyback by Arcadecup.

Thanks
