SF Rush Alcatraz - Dead Monitor - Newbie needs suggestions
I picked up a San Francisco Rush - Alcatraz Edition last Sunday and it worked great until Monday evening. While playing, the display started changing.
It would usually start with both a horizontal line and vertical line at the same time making four quadrants on the screen.
Other times there would be a 2 inch vertical strip down the center and the pics on the left and right would be angled toward the center. Most of the car would be missing from the display where it ran into the line.
Or there is a thin white horizontal line across the screen and the pics above and below appear sloped toward the line.
Sometimes the screen would also shrink.
Eventually, the screen would shrink down to a dot or small line in the center. After a second or two, it would come back on to a fairly good pic..but then start the process of failing again. On Wednesday night, the monitor died completely. All connections are tight ( I removed all connectors to the boards/power and replugged to ensure they were secure). There is no noise coming from the monitor.
From the sounds of it, the rest of the game seems to be functioning normally. I know that the monitor was just recapped before I got the machine (It looked great while it was running).
Any Ideas? How can I tell if the monitor is bad or if it's just the board, etc?
Here is a video of it before it died completely...
