So, I'm hosting a tourney on Sunday and am trying to get my games up to tourney condition. The GI on my Met Premium keeps flickering. It is basically making the game unplayable.
We've disconnected a lot of the power using mods in hopes this would stop the GI flicker. Hasn't worked. It flicks on it flicks off in a near seizure inducing way.
Any ideas gang? Not sure where to even begin. Thanks.
Quoted from TimeBandit:When this happened to my LE it was because of the data cable from the CPU board. Replaced, all good.
I'm hoping it's not this cause I won't have time to get a new part by Sunday. I'll look at it further tonight and report back though. Thanks gang.
Quoted from Dkjimbo:I had the same problem on mine and it was the tension of the wire harnesss to the pcb in the lower middle of thenplayfied - because stern had it so tightly pulled one of the pins or multiple pins on the board were bending and creating bad contact. I cut the zip tie holding the wire harness for the gi and gave it some more slack and then reconnected it and it was never a problem again.
This was the issue. It's fixed and working perfect. Thanks!
