I have a Woz (Australian Limited edition) and I am experiencing a slight flicker on the monitor. It's the type of interference one might see from an unshielded video cable plugged into an analogue input on a TV set (if that makes sense). It is very slight, but noticeable and annoying.

The machine was built in Nov 13, and at first I had great difficulty actually finding the controls to try to adjust the monitor controls, as they were stuck at the very back and I had to unbolt the whole thing to access them. Once I did find these controls, no adjustment I did stopped the flickering from occurring.

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this issue, and if there any suggestions on how to fix it.

Quoted from Ballypinball:

Move the monitor cable away from the speaker and transformer, and unfold the cable and re route it away from the transformer.
Or replace with a shorter cable, an easy fix

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried unfolding and re-routing the cable away from speaker and transformer, but this hasn't resolved the issue.

I'll get hold of a shorter VGA cable and give it a go, but I was wondering if it is possible to hook the monitor up via the DVI output?

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Have you contacted JJP support? I hear that they are very helpful.

Yes, I have a JJP ticket and am awaiting a response.

I'll also give the DVI option a go.
