Broken Vectrex?

Post by jeffslot »

Any have any ideas about this? I've found a broken vectrex, all it does when I turn it on is show 1 dot in the center of the screen when I turn it on. I would love it if I could fix it. Any ideas?

Have you tried adjusting the brightness control? The Vectrex has one you know. It took me a little while to realize that at first. ^^*

Well, I can say this. Look up how to fix this problem on an oscilloscope's display. That's an electronics tool used to check voltage waveforms. It uses similar technology to that. It is a vector display, after all.
