ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I bought one of Madtronix'es 3D imagers in 2016 and really enjoyed it but then left it on a shelf for about a year unplayed (too many other games to play). Then last week my cat knocked it off the shelf and it fell on the floor. Doesn't seem damaged but now when I try playing it, although the wheel spins (see video below) the game goes blank onscreen and makes a high pitched whistling sound. I have tried three cartridges and they all do this. So did my cat break it or is this a known issue with the imager if it hasn't been played in a while? Any troubleshooting tips anyone can recommend? I did email Madtronix but haven't heard back. https://youtu.be/A8QSdLkFifM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have you got the colour wheel the correct way around on the imager? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have you got the colour wheel the correct way around on the imager? Fairly sure I do, sticker facing me. But even if I don't would that cause the game to blank out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectrexer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sticker has to face the Imager. It also have to have the correct wheel for the title in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned the disc round with "labels out" and it totally fires up again. What a relief. Thanks a million everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
