Hi everyone,
I have a Vectrex of a friend of mine and asked me to do change all its capacitors, which I did, but one problem remained : uneven scanline distribution. Here's a video of the problem :
As you can see, most lines (in text) and not evenly distributed, the corners on the startup screen logo don't touch either.
Here's what I did :
- Replace absolutely all the electrolytic capacitors on both the mainboard and power/video board. (and taking care of soldering on the top and bottom exposed holes that don't have copper going down the via)
- Replace the 5 small styrene caps near the op-amp on the cpu board with film caps of equal capacity.
- Replace all the single-wipe sockets with double-wipe.
- Did the de-buzz audio mod which works very well.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong or which IC I should check more closely ?
Thanks!
