Title: GO7 picture distortion Post by: Servo on February 19, 2014, 10:04:54 pm Hi all,
I have a GO7 13" in a pac man mini and im getting a lot of curling on the right edge of the screen. is this just in need of a new cap kit or is it something else. any help would be appreciated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqmH4RYZTWI&feature=youtu.be Servo Title: Re: GO7 picture distortion Post by: arcadefan1985 on February 20, 2014, 09:32:22 pm No worse than that is, If it wont adjust maybe adjust the screen to the left slightly or shrink a tad.

However, it might not remove it 100%. My Frogger had a nasty curl after I capped it. It took a lot of careful adjustments with the pots to get it out. My Pac-Man has a curl on the right when I turn it on. After it warms up, it goes away. I have no idea, I capped it.
Read this too!: http://homearcade.org/BBBB/g07notes.html This is what I had to do with my FROGGER: "Fifth.. after reinstallation of the chassis adjust the H hold for a center point without the curl."

Doing a cap kit fixed about 70% of it. Then checking the B+ voltage and adjusting it to the 120volts fixed the rest. Do your cap kit first though before adjusting the voltage, I had one leaking cap and 4 others that were DOA. My voltage was only 103v but I suspect if I would have adjusted it up to 120v a few more would have popped. After the adjustment though it looks like a new monitor, amazing how important voltage is.
