Ok, my bet is Lloyd will be first to respond, but we'll see...

I was playing my IJ last weekend.  Never had any display issues.
Never had any inkling of issues.  All of the sudden the display went
to the following.  I haven't done any real debugging.  I did re-seat
the ribbon cable as a shotgun, but no luck.  But, I didn't check power
supplies or voltages yet.  I thought someone may have seen this before
and could point me to the common source.  If not, I'll go through the
systematic debug steps when I get some time.

My dad is coming over tomorrow so a quick fix would be great as he
loves IJ.

Thanks!

Looks just like the display on my T2 did just before the high voltage
section blew up. I can't see any motion from the pictures obviously,
but does the screen appear to "wave" at times with pixels that
shouldn't be lit?

I don't know if I would describe it as "wave", but the noise does move
and you can kind of see what was supposed to be on the screen.

I will probably due a quick re-seating of all the cables again
tonight. Then, I may have a replacement board I can drop in there
from a game presently in restoration.

EIther way, thanks for the input guys. The high voltage supply was my
initial thought as well. But, I guess I'm going to have to dig into
it when I have time. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will just be the BF
caps.
