I am not an expert w this but today i tried checking voltages at the edge connector of my mp pcb. If i put the black lead of my meter on the ps board screw and check the pcb pins with the red lead, the highest voltage i'm finding is 4.5v. Could that be what's causing my video jitter issues since the game is looking for 5v? A klover rebuilt and tested the ps board but i'm not sure if something else could be causing the prob.

You really should have close to 5v at the board. What is the power at the power supply?

If there is a difference of more than 0.5v then you need to check all connections for tighness and look at all mating surfaces for corrosion.

Many thanks. I will check the numbers at the ps but really think it might be time for a switcher :(
 
Just checked the voltages at the ps board and it's pushing 5v so i guess it's a connector issue. I'll have to see if i have another one lying around. Thanks for the advice :)
