I had that machine for a while, so I know a little about it. iirc the audio comes from the sanyo monitors. One sound channel from the top mon, second from the bottom mon. So it makes sense that if something on the monitor fried, it would only affect the one sound channel. As to what exactly fried, no idea. And of course it goes without saying that you shouldn't mess around with the monitors unless you really know what you are doing. I know this probably isn't all that much help, but figured I would share as much as I could. Good luck!

yeah I feel kinda silly that I didn't check all the points as well as I should have. I am however happy to say that the machine is back in action and working perfecto. Thank you for helping out a new guy. Much appreciated.

yeah the color I think looks a bit off more than it is because of the cam. I think I may have found the problem though. One of the solder joints on the voltage regulator DOES in fact look suspect. After pushing the pin around from the solder side of the board I was able to get the same effect as the board flexing. So not 100% sure this is the problem, but it is looking good. (face palm at myself for missing it when I first inspected the solder points) I will update after I bust out the ol' soldering iron.

yeah I did in fact check that screw. I even took it out and lifted that portion of the board away from the metal housing and it still did the same thing when the other portion of the board was flexed. But it does feel like it should be something along those lines. I just can't seem to find the source of the issue. I was also wondering if by flexing the board if I was pulling/pushing one of the legs out of a component. I guess I was hoping it was a common problem, which would have saved me some hassle hah. Thank you very much for the quick reply.

Hey all, Been having issues with my 2600 and MaximunRD is always talking about AA and the people here knowing their stuff. So I figured I would post a vid of the problem I am having. One of the things I forget to mention in the video is I don't get the issue by flexing the board on the right side, only the left. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR0EhcyCZB8 Thank you all in advance. -Flynn
