Issues with JVL Retro Machines
RockyOBX:
Does someone have a photo of how the motherboard connections should look on a Retro or Vortex. I'm wondering if I'm re-wiring things wrong and possibly causing issues.
RockyOBX:
Here's an update from what was done over the past week. When I returned home, I took apart one of the working Retro's and took a picture of the ribbon configuration (posted here for others to reference). Most my "bad" boards had a matching configuration, where I fixed the ones that didn't, but still meet the same errors with those motherboards. I ended up ordering one of the motherboards off Ebay and it arrived today. Put one of my CFs in it and the thing booted like a champ, so at this point I want to say that my other motherboards really are just bad. I still have one Retro shell left that I might still toy around with and try to get working, but at this point, 3 outta 4 works for me.
Thank you all again for your help on this, as if it weren't for the help from members here and on KLOV, I don't think I would have gotten even one of these to work.

Hello. Brand new to this forum and just recently purchased my first JVL retro at an auction. Previously have always bought various mega touches. The auction house said that the machine previously started up to the main menu screen. When I got it home the machine will not load up at all. The lights all power up and then like a minute or so later I get some extremely thin vertical lines of color on the screen in various area. I get a quick beep and then what sounds like a little modem static and then like a pc restart beep. Attached a quick pic of the screen and then my description is best I can do for sound at this point. Have video of it but too large to post.
Trying to figure out where I start to problem solve this and appreciate any and all help!!

I would start by connecting the monitor to different pc to rule out bad monitor. Could be bad monitor controller, or bad video chipset on motherboard.

Mahkeymike - thank you very much for the quick reply! Couple quick questions - in checking the video monitor on another PC, is that a matter of un-connecting teh VGA cord from the inside and then connect to an external PC? If the monitor is working and it ends up being a bad chipset on mother board or bad monitor controller, are those items that can be bought and then replaced or fixed? Again - really appreciate the help!!!
