8liners 13" chassis problem
« on: March 17, 2005, 06:56:53 pm »
This is the image I got after installing a 8liners chassis in my SI partII.

What could be the possible cause and remedy?  All the colors are there, and I can play the game, but all the graphics are consolidated into that one vertical column.  No adjustment will bring it into focus or spread the image out.

My email is down so I haven't been able to contact 8liners about it yet.

Is this a mixed up wire on my part?
Thanks for the help.

First, dont run it long like this (like more than a few seconds) otherwise you will severely burn in the center of the screen.

You have a vertical deflection issue (It's not bouncing the electron gun vertically).  YES VERTICALLY--since your monitor is rotated 90 degrees from a normal TV set layout. 

Here are the possibilities:
You didn't connect either the yellow or green wire to the yoke or to the WRONG terminals on the yoke.

There is a problem with the yoke... a short in it or something causing lack of vertical deflection.

You may have broken a component or a solder connection in the vertical circuit on the chassis.
