Mad Hatter Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Any ideas how to rectify this? When playing regular ColecoVision games the picture is fine and perfectly centered. However when I use expansion module #1 the picture is jammed all the way to one side, and some of it is even cut-off from view. I don't have a picture centering feature on the TV I have this hooked up to. Is this common with exp module #1? Anyone else have this same problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick them up pretty cheap. I would suggest buying another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed1475 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 There's a dial on the inside of Exp Mod #1 to adjust the colors. Maybe there's a dial or something for centering the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Just a question. Have you tried cleaning up the connectors on both the CV expansion slot, and the module? I'm not a video expert, but isn't there a signal (timing, maybe) related to RF that tells the TV how to properly display the image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) You can pick them up pretty cheap. I would suggest buying another. Hey Yurkie, What's considered a good price? I picked one up for $12 shipped, but most of them on eBay seem to be going for $25ish+shipping, unless you get one with a CV.

Mad Hatter Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Haven't tried cleaning the connections, didn't think that would have anything to do with the picture not being centered. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think $20 plus shipping for a tested working Expansion Module #1 is a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
