Hi everyone,

Having not touched my SS2 for a few days, I saw an 'analog IO error' on power up displayed after the power on tests and during the intro screen.
The error hasn't returned, but now the scope 'twitches' on the screen, making the game unplayable. These spasmodic movements occur even when the gun isn't being moved, so it would appear there is electrical noise or bad readings on the gun inputs.
Has anyone seen this before and can suggest a fix?

thank you!
 
Fixed

Quick checks for anyone experiencing this fault

Symptoms: Scope sight twitches and moves randomly around the target area. Glitches visible across the IO test ranges for the gun XY motion in test mode.
'Analog IO error' and game stops in game

Remedies:

Check for good electrical ground between gun earth points, boardset and electrical ground.

Reseat the two connectors attached to the gun IO board.

Secondary checks:

Clean potentiometers with swith/contact cleaner. Allow time to penetrate and then work the gun to clean.

Check harness, especially boardset connectors which have a degree of play. Reseat as necessary.

Check for good +5V and +12v from game PSU. Ensure +12v isn't reading low.
