Despina83 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Today when I was playing Dragonfire (still can't get past that tenth dragon!) I hit the reset switch on my Vader and the picture went black and white and to almost all entirely snow, lots of static buzzing. I had to take the cart in and out to fix it. A few minutes later it happened again, same fix. I bought this one along with a broken six switcher from a flea market last year. It was a gamble, the systems were initially filthy and no games included, but I was glad to have the Vader, and now it's having a problem. Boo!

Syntaxerror999 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So it goes to b&w as if you flipped the color switch then becomes staticly like someone flipped the channel from 2 to 3...or cuts to snow like the power was flipped off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Do you have a 2nd power supply? They tend to become weak over time and then fail when getting warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxfanman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 This issue is caused by a bad capacitor (c241). I would replace that and also the 7805 voltage regulator.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 This issue is caused by a bad capacitor (c241). I would replace that and also the 7805 voltage regulator.. If only Obi Wan had known it was such an easy fix... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yea, I was going to say, I thought it was the 'i have the high ground' incident that finally pushed Vader over the edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
