About 2 weeks ago I finally bought me a MSX2 again, a NMS8250. It's been about 32 years without a real MSX Anyway, it worked fine for 2 weeks. Today I switch it on, and the video is like this:
Initially I thought bad connection, I swapped scart cable and TV to no avail. But then I figured it's a repetitive pattern. When I use composite out though, it works fine, so video RAM and things are all fine. As the image pops to bad and good every few seconds, my guts say it's a cap on the video out board. Before I open the thing up (I need to do the audio mod (reversed cap on motherboard), SCC volume mod and maybe memory expansion), would anyone know what could cause this?
The only modification I've done to it so far, is that I changed the PSU from 220 to 240V. Apart from that the machine is original.
