ntcmpjg Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My screen is black and rolling white lines across it. Anyone on here replace capacitors on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntcmpjg Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I found a guy on eBay that fixes them he only works on Sega stuff he had good prices and offered a 10% military discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dripfree Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I did a capacitor replacement on mine. Its actually a pretty easy job you should maybe watch a couple youtube videos and give it a try. I am wondering if this is actually your problem though. My capacitor issue made my screen very dim but it was still showing the game. From the stories I read this seemed to be what happens with bad caps all the time. I think you may have a different issue. I could be wrong though.....

There are two caps near the screen that when failed will cause a distorted picture with rolling lines on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bixler Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 When I get it back I will take after shots when it is finished. Have you received it back yet? How does it look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
