Also included are images of the pre-test I do with my meter leads before and after using the REL function on the DMM to compensate for the inherent resistance in the meter leads. The 58 ohm short is between Pin#14 (VCC) & Pins #16 /#17...

    Arcing/buzzing wire and vertical rollover.

    Do you have another NEO MVS to try with the monitor? If so is this Folding/Rollover occurring? If not you could try my suggestion below before looking to work on the monitor. Are you running the RGB from the board direct to the monitor or going through a Supergun? This could possibly be a...

The pins were completely gone, so I had to sand / file down some of the substrate material on the top of the chip just to expose...

    MVS - Blue's Jourmey, No Sound and Some Garbled Graphics

    Hello all, I am just getting into the Neo Geo MVS. So far have been able to repair 4 defective MV-1C units that I picked up from eBay. The seller threw in 2 games with the purchase, "King of Fighters 2003" & "Blue's Journey". KOF2003 works great, however Blue's Journey does not have sound and...
