interference really this bad?

Post by daguuy »

whoa, 3 topics in a day (of course that's a good thing, it means i'm actually doing something :P ). anyway, i just relocated my cart slot and that went well, all good connections with no bridges or anything like that. before i relocated it, it worked great. now when i try it it gets very faint usually B/W distorted iomage on the screen that changes when i move it around a bit. kinda like a TV with bad reception. has this ever happened to anybody after relocating it? BTW, my wires are only 2"-3" so it's not the length that's the problem. if it isn't working by tommarow, i'll have to re-re-re-re-relocate it but with different wires (that'll be the 5th time i've had to relocate it :P ) any ideas?

Did this go on the 1-3 relocation tries?

Muaha, I'm gonna cheat when I relocate my slot--SCSI cable and header for the win!
Black and white you say? Maybe it's not the cartridge slot, your video wiring might be the one to blame.

I'd check the PCB carefully for any solder bits that may be shorting pins on chips.

This sounds more like a video problem, not a cart slot problem.
