Bally v2337 video is white with wavy lines - help please

[DrewMcAvon]

V2337/2000 worked for a few weeks.  I was replacing bulbs and shorted (dumb mistake) and blew the f3 fuse.  When I replaced the fuse, the video comes on but it is white with wavy lines.  Any help diagnosing is appreciated.  I checked the other fuses but all look good.

Can you post a pic or two? That may be helpful in diagnosing the issue.

Hi, thanks.  Picture attached.  Also, additional information.  I am assuming the F3 fuse controls the tower light and door button lights, but I am not sure.  The machine worked with the blown fuse, just those lights did not.  The fuse may have nothing to do with the monitor issues.  I reseated the board and checked the monitor and board connections.  I also pressed the reset button on board.

Does the game play now,  with the bad video?
I don't think this is a monitor problem.

[DrewMcAvon]

No, it does not play.  I have not tried dropping a coin in yet, but I will try this shortly.

funny thing.  I went and turned on the machine to test putting coins in and the video came up fine.  I don't remember doing anything from the time I took the first picture that would have made it work.  All buttons and lights and sound work. I am not complaining, but I guess we can mark this as resolved, but not sure why.

Good to hear it's working.

I have the Video Twenty-one version of this game (not sure what you have) and I've had an occasion video issue which ended up being the connectors on the right side of the piggyback MPU board. They had migrated out slightly when I replaced my battery.

I wonder what the problem was. Weird that it resolved on its own! Glad that your machine is working!
