DK 3 to Donkey Kong conversion/resto *FINISHED*
ZORK2:
UHG! I just put the DK3 board in, WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!! There is a slight "wave" to the picture that I could not adjust out of it. Also the picture doesn't look overly crisp, and isn't as bright as it should be? Thoughts on that?
So my Donkey Kong board looks like its messed up!!! GREAT! I'm sure the dude will say it was damaged in shipping, his packing job wasn't the best.
UHG, so where do I begin with THAT thing?! Anyone have any thoughts as to what would cause a bad picture on one of those boards?? Does anyone sell a board repar kit of any kind? I don't recall seeing one anywhere.
ZORK2:
Sigh :'( I guess this answers the question if its the board or the monitor.
Here are a couple pics. I'm really hoping that someone out there has seen a DK PCB do this before and can point me in the right direction. The picture on the monitor is NOT as blurry as these pictures make it seem. That is my crappy camera. The main thing is the left side of the picture trails off the bottom of the screen? Also the picture is generally jittery. Anyone know where to start? I gave the boards a quick visual inspection, that revealed nothing.
On to the monitor, with DK3 in there, the picture has a slight "wave" to it. Also when the sound pot is turned up, the screen kind of "pulses" to the beat of the sounds, when it get loud. Any thoughts as to what that could be? A sound board kit?
Well here are pics, again, they are not as blurry as these make it seem, but you can see how the picture trails off on the left side....
IG-88:
No help on the monitor/board but the sound thing, maybe the speaker is un-shielded? Try slipping a sheet of metal in between the speaker and monitor to see if that if that makes a difference :dunno
Also I was wondering if you could take a picture of the inside of your cab for me. Try it from the standing position, right in front looking down into it. I just got me one of these cabs myself and I think it's missing some wood mounting pieces inside of it for the monitor. Pretty please ;D.
SirPeale:
Have you tried adjusting the horizontal or vertical syncs yet?
ZORK2:
IG-88,
There are a few pics of the inside of the cab on this thread, any of those shots work for you? I think my last post from yesterday has just that shot? If not, let me know, I'll get you anything you need.
You think the speaker being unsheilded is messing with the monitor? Hmmm, I'll give that a try....
SirPeale,
I adjusted EVERY pot, in every possible combination. Are you talking to fix the waves? Or to try and get DK to come in?
