Pulled my ST-TNG from storage, and got her back up and running. (got nothin' else to do). When you turn on, after 1 sec. a load pop comes from speakers then normal "test" screen. Games runs fine and 100%. removing J1 and j2 (speaker out) removes pop. I've heard about this in the past but its been awhile. Anybody wanna refresh my memory ? BTW: anyone know where Jonathan Frakes may be hiding? He's the only one I don't have a signature from on my translite.

Mine has done this on start up and power down for the 4 years I’ve had it.

I had one that did the same. Annoying as fuck but harmless....at least mine was.

He will be on the Star Trek cruise if they don’t cancel it.

Ps : Mine always popped, I never worried about it.

Games making a loud pop at start up or shut down is normal and won't hurt the machine. There used to be no-pop boards that would eliminate the pop. The remaining stock was sold to Rob Anthony, so you might reach out to him to see if he has any left.
