did my cat break my 3D imager?

[ComputerSpaceFan]

I bought one of Madtronix'es 3D imagers in 2016 and really enjoyed it but then left it on a shelf for about a year unplayed (too many other games to play). Then last week my cat knocked it off the shelf and it fell on the floor. Doesn't seem damaged but now when I try playing it, although the wheel spins (see video below) the game goes blank onscreen and makes a high pitched whistling sound. I have tried three cartridges and they all do this.

 

So did my cat break it or is this a known issue with the imager if it hasn't been played in a while? Any troubleshooting tips anyone can recommend? I did email Madtronix but haven't heard back.

Have you got the colour wheel the correct way around on the imager?

Fairly sure I do, sticker facing me. But even if I don't would that cause the game to blank out?

My god, cats are jerks.

I'm pretty certain the white sticker has to face the Vectrex, not the wearer...

Sticker has to face the Imager. It also have to have the correct wheel for the title in use.

WHEW! That's all it was. Turned the disc round with "labels out" and it totally fires up again. What a relief.

 

Thanks a million everyone!
