Title: Well Gardner D9200
Post by: Blacksmith on October 16, 2006, 11:07:03 am

I just got my mame pc back from a friend that set it up with mamewah for me.  I am installing it into a cab that has a wells gardner D9200 monitor in it.  Initially, it seemed fine, but when I went to scroll the game list the screen blanks on and off until it seems to "catch up" and then stabilizes with a picture.  This also happens when I change from platform to platform.  I know that my pc was working at my buddies house as I saw it working there.  I am guessing that I am having an issue with my monitor settings or a driver, but am having difficulty figuring this mess out.  Any suggestions out there??? ???

If the video signal to the monitor drops out even for a fraction of a second, the monitor's "no signal" program kicks in.

You must have driver issues causing a momentary loss of the video signal.

thats what I was thinking.  can you give me a step by step for reinstalling them?  I have the disc, but don't know if I have to delete the driver from the system or what?  And if I do, how will my monitor work so I can see the screen?  I'm confused!

I don't know if I'm doing this right or not.  I have the disc from ultimarc in my pc and I am trying to update the driver.  Every time I try it, it says that it cannot find a newer version of drivers than what is already on there.  My screen blanks out as soon as you touch the trackball or joystick and then the picture come back on.  I'm to burn this thing!  HELP

OK guys, I think I got it figured out.  On the back of my ArcadeVGA card that is plugged into my pc there are two outputs.  I had my monitor plugged into the right side one and I was having those issues as previously stated.  I pulled it out and plugged it into the other output and so far it seems to have fixed the problems.  I'm not sure what the other output does, but it was messing me up big time!

Check for a broken trace where the VGA plug into your computer.
I had that same problem and I found the trace was broken.
