MVS 2 slot has gfx corruption on just one slot

[Dahun72]

I've been looking for a while for a 2 slot and finally came across one. However, there's an issue.

Slot 1 works perfect but slot 2 has graphics corruption. Is this common and fixable? Can anyone offer any insight? Much appreciated.

If it's on the back slot only then it's the traces that run from slot 2 to slot 1.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

Clean the cart slot, give it a really good clean, and check the pins if they are all Ok ( aligned and check if you have any pin down or broken,etc)

Get an old visa card, with an old T-shirt around it...use a good PCB cleaner and clean those pins very gentle
( There's some YouTube videos on this )
Also you may need to adjust the cart on that slot ( bit up, or down, ) my 4slot is very temperamental on this
... If I push the game all the way down, on slots 2, and 3, I get gfx corrupted graphics and/or no sound , etc...

Cheers

Awesome, thanks dragonpt. I think this might be happening on one of my single slot mobo. Some carts seem hard to seat and require lots of manoeuvring to get them to display properly. Thanks again!
