LinkoVitch Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Is the colour of the LED Red perhaps? If so you have an NTSC Jaguar which will output at 60Hz. Some older TVs either cannot support this frequency or require manual adjustment. Even if your LED is Green and the TV is of a suitable age it may need some adjustment. Look in the control panel area for a Vertical Hold (or V-Hold), used to be a small knob, might even be on the back as a pot you can access with a plastic screwdriver etc. If you have one of these try turning it slowly left or right, one way will make the screen roll faster, the other should slow it and eventually stop it (unless you go too far then it will roll in the opposite direction Red Screen is the cart is failing to pass the Encryption check. This can be caused by bad contacts (most common), bad cart or damaged slot. I assume it's the pack in Cybermorph cart? Might be worth giving the cart edge a clean with Iso alcohol, could be years of storage has resulted in some tarnish on that or the cart slot connectors. Hope that is of some help, good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkoVitch Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 No, on the TV, Jaguar has no control panel. How are you connecting it to the TV? same cable as one of your other jags that work fine? RF/SCART/Composite/S-Video ? Official cable or home made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traindriver69 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 It's funny if I insert my cyber morph cart in I get a black screen but works fine on my other two consoles. But if I insert my skunkboard I get what you see in the video take no notice of the cross rolling that's the camera but it rolls up and down I have tried cleaning both cart and slot no change.

Yeah, I read that..... but a composite cable may work and it sounds like you need one anyways (3 systems and only 1 RF hookup).... If you are using a "new" RF cable, some of those are extremely cheap and I have seen those work/not work. I am talking about the Yobo RFs or similar.
