I searched the forums and found some other threads, but my issue seems different.
First a really small backstory. I just received the machine for free last Sunday before this, it was going to the dumpster otherwise(yeah.)
On first boot-up, I got an error message, I never owned an arcade but I knew it was a HDD error so I just bought a new drive off a site, for $35. When it came in machine fired right up but pic was blurry, dark and dominant red. I adjusted the red gain, perfect..finally found the focus and brightness knobs; right where you can barely see them let alone access them, picture damn near perfect, dark until it warms up a bit but excellent.
Plays and works perfectly all week and we made good money on it too. Today the steering is in and out during the game. It calibrates 1024 to both sides on startup, does not jitter at all in game or at any other time, and the feedback motor works great, when they both are working.
When I start a game, sometimes there will be no steering and it will kick in right past the fog on beginner stage. Sometimes it worked for 3 or 4 games straight, sometimes it didnt work the whole race but only a few turns maybe, sometimes it would still steer but the force feedback would cut out, and it was like playing pole position. I didnt test any voltage anywhere yet, as I couldn't find my multi-meter, and again, also fairly new at this. It's driving me to the nuthouse slowly all damn day. I'm ready to plan a scheme against Batman with The Riddler and Harley Quinn.
Any ideas?
Once I adjusted the monitor, accessed the the screen to clean the inch of dust and replace the aforementioned hard drive, it was, until today, an amazing working machine.
On the plus at least, the Shuffleshot I also got that day, works amazing and is really fun game to boot. Sucks they converted an MK2 cabinet for it, but fun nonetheless.
