Eric M Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hi Friends I wanted to play a little on my vectrex but it didn't work normally When the vectrex is 'cold' I switch on the vectrex, everything seems to be good but few seconds later, it's like a characters desintegration on the screen. The 3d part seems to be good. Do you encouter this problem ? where could it come from ? thanks friends Eric here is a link to the video My Vectrex display problem Edited June 1, 2020 by Eric M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Could be a lot of things. Definitely open it up and examine everything. Try pulling, cleaning the legs and reseating IC chips (if socketed) & look over all electrolytic capacitors, checking for leaking and/or bulging caps. Replacing integrator caps is also not a bad idea, which cleaned up my image a lot. Console5 also has other Vectrex parts and enhancements available (note - I have no affiliation w/them, they're just the best, all-in-one site to get parts to revive a broken Vectrex). https://console5.com/store/vectrex-integrator-cap-kit.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
