Issue with Sega Hang on arcade game

Question from Kevin: Hi,

Loved your website!

I recently moved and when I tried to start my Sega Hang On game, I discovered a problem.

The game starts, sound and video, however most of the objects (motorcycles, street lights, etc) appear as vertical lines, i.e., there is no 3D look to them. They move as expected but there is no dimension to the objects. The objects in the distance/background seem to be OK.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Kevin

Response from Jonathan: Kevin,

It sounds like your board might have been jostled a little bit during the move. If the game was working before you moved it, it should be a simple fix. We recommend checking all of the ribbon cables on the board to make sure they are connected properly. You might also take a look at our post on Inspecting An Arcade Board as it gives some great tips on what to look for when you’re having board issues.

Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
