Title: Inverted Color Screen Issue
Post by: Maxlovin on October 04, 2011, 12:49:31 pm
I own a red tent..one side is playchoice 10 the other is vs goonies. My question is the monitor on the goonies side is all inverted colors and wasnt sure if it was the goonie board or the monitor it's self. I was wondering if it was the monitor how to fix it or if it is the board would putting a new board in the machine make it work or how to fix the goonies board

basically the blacks or dark colors are white and the lighter colors and reds are a greeny blue

I wonder if the wires from the yoke to the monitor chassis board are switched around? Or if the monitor has an inverter board and someone accidently plugged into that? You should see where the video for the monitor is going. Is it plugged into an inverter board?

I'm new to the restoration business, but generally these issues aren't an indicator of a bad monitor itself. Usually.

You're missing the red color.

Check the connection and your red color pot or it could be the transistor that drives red.
