OK, I'm finally almost done with my second MAME cabinet (some might remember the Rocketcade from a couple years back). Anyways, for this one I purchased a cabinet that already had a Hanatarex 25" MDC-9110 monitor in it. Using a J-PAC, I have gotten everything connected and the software (AdvanceMAME and AdvanceMENU) working properly. Everything is working great except for one issue.
The problem is that when you first turn on the cabinet, the entire picture is out of focus. If you leave it sit on for 5-10 minutes, the picture becomes much better, but it will constantly lose focus and regain it every couple seconds. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Someone on IRC told me that the focus pot on the monitor board needs replaced, I just want to see if anyone else agrees with this, or has any other suggestions. This issue makes finding/selecting any game a challenge; otherwise I'm happy with the results.
Thanks for any help you can give.
