Yeah yeah I know, not the most reliable of consoles to start with!
It powers up fine however when loading up Doom, the Doom splash screen is missing (well, it's there but it's very hard to make out the Doom logo, almost a completely black screen). The menu and select screen appears just fine, however the 3d graphics in the game are as per the splash screen, present but almost non-existent, as though someone had turned the brightness right down on that portion of the gamescreen!
On Mortal Kombat 2, the menu is there although the character selection screen goes to the "who turned that brightness right down!" effect seen in Doom above, and when you go into game the backrounds are present and clear as day, however the sprites, surprise surprise, are not.
Very odd, I've done the usual standard procedure of stripping it down and removing and reseating/cleaning the 2 white ribbon cables in there to no avail. It's definitely not the AV cable and it's something in the guts of the console somewhere.
Any ideas guys? Would be a bastard to have to donate it to my spares bin as it's boxed and complete
