Title: monitor problems
Post by: xrodney on August 20, 2010, 11:54:43 am

Hi

I just got a mortal kombat 1 arcade and after a few minutes the picture gets a bit faded and when switched images, it shows a solid red colour instead of a dark black colour.  what can be the problem? and can it be fixed?
