I just bought a blitz cab with no monitor. I swapped in a working WG 7000 monitor and plays fine when I put my captain america board in it, but when using the blitz board, I get a very garbled screen. I noticed that the factory default is med res mode, but I can't even get in to the test mode to change the screen settings to low res mode.

Also, there doesn't appear to be any switches on the board itself that would allow me to switch modes....

Does anyone have any suggestions on this??

Yep. Adjust your dip switches. Your monitor is standard rez but the board is set to medium rez. The board is capable of both resolutions.

The problem is that even when I enter test mode, the screen is still garbled, to the point where I can't tell what the hell is going on.

They mean hard dipswitches dude, not a softdip you'd change in the test menu.

Yes. Many of the Midway games give operators a dual option. DS1 usually is the option to toggle between hard and soft dips so you can define pricing options. The monitor settings are located in the hard dips.

Would anybody be able to point out to me the hard dips??? So far I only see a yellow button that just resets the whole unit.

Okay I found the dip's and changed it to 15kh mode. But I still get the same picture....

Keep in mind when I use any other board (in this same cab) the picture comes out perfectly fine.

Correct its u9 bank. 2 on 3 off.

The connection is attached to an adaptor I'm using to hookup to the WG k7000.

In the pic the yellow wires are coming off the jamma harness, and you can see the adapter I made to retrofit the WG monitor. Again, the dips are in the appropriate spots (double and triple checked) and any other board works just fine. Tested with captain america, spider man, and xmen.
