BB2 Jackpot Party Monitor Not Centered

[keystone9]

Can anyone give me an idea why the picture on this monitor is shifted to the right? Sometimes if I power down and up again it will come up centered and sometimes I will get a blank screen. It is only the bottom monitor on a BB2. Thanks.

Doe's anybody know what is happening with this monitor? Now sometimes it wont even come on but the game still plays. Driving me nuts. Thanks. Bill

Have you tried resetting the monitor by pushing the button on the back panel that says "reset or Restore" or something similar?  Also maybe do a touch screen calibration via the menu or the attendant key?

The monitor isn't scaling correctly. best case scenario is reboot it and hope it runs for a while correctly. The EDID data from the monitor and or logic isn't being handed off correctly.
    Perhaps a new cable would fix it but it's likely a monitor issue. Given the BB2s eat video cards regularly it could be that be that too(be sure the logic fan is blowing towards the video card, not out of the logic), and with the monitor being unreliable that could be failing monitor, check for a hot power connector at the monitor, and dead monitor fan which likely has roasted the caps in there.

Thanks for the reply. I will go thru all of your suggestions and see what happens. It's driving me nuts so thanks. Bill

Tried replacing the graphics card now the top and bottom monitor show the same image, reels spinning instead of the Jackpot Party game up top, so I put the original graphics card back and the monitors came up fine. I think I had the wrong graphic card? Any way the monitor is still acting up as far as not displaying when booting up so I am going to try replacing the inverter board.

I replaced the inverter board on the monitor with a fresh new one and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.

Spiffy. Again make sure the monitor fan is running and clean and hopefully it’ll provide many more years of service.
