I assume it's just the cold, but lately when I turn my machine on, the demo displays the graphics, but there's weird lines and garbled-ness over the screen for about a minute or so... eventually it clears up and goes away, but I'm wondeirng if there's something wrong with it. :(
 
could be power supply issue, or pcb issue. but most likely power supply.

Oh! I didn't think anyone replied to this, thank you!

Well I went into the test menu and ran the hardware/ROM test, everything checked out OK. Unfortunately this was a pretty heavily used machine (the 2nd player gun has all but stopped working, but I think it's just a matter of replacing the trigger part.) But some idiot removed the third prong on the plug that goes into the wall (couldn't be bothered to pay five bucks for a plug converter, I know they exist)

Strangely it's only been doing this recently, sometimes it goes away on its own, or a light tap on the machine sometimes gets rid of it (and usually doesn't come back)

EDIT: I don't know if you've seen my other posts, but long story short I won this machine as part of SEGA's giveaway promotion for the new Gunblade NY/LA Machineguns arcade hits pack released for Wii... it wasn't a new machine but it's been working okay for the most part, this is the first worrysome problem I've had with it. rocking the gun forward and back sometimes clears it up and it doesn't come back ... but I still worry it'll get worse.
