Re: BattleZone Monitor? Problem

Well, it appears that replacing the connector was not the solution. The game still has
the same shrinking problem (the connector did clear up some other problems). I'm going
to pull the monitor and do a complete re-solder of the boards as it seemed to reoccur
only after the monitor was re-installed. The vibration from the rumble may be shaking
something that is causing it. It's a theory. I'll update if it works.
