hello
i was wondering if anyone could give me some help regarding my gamebox.

i turned the machine on after purchasing from a rental company to find that the screen wobbles up and down ect... this gets better but is still very slight when machine is playable.

any ideas???


thanks

Try adjusting the vertical hold on the monitor control board (open the top door and it should be underneath the monitor).

When vertical wobble occurs it may be a sign that a component is on its way out, possibly a transistor. If this is the case then adjusting the vertical hold could well signal the component's death and it'll flatline. There's only one way to find out .... good luck.

Interested to hear which company you got it from and whether they advertised the machine as fully refurbed or what-have-you. And whether you saw it working before you purchased.
