Bit of a strange problem but the RGB connector on my Super CDRom is really sensitive. If I plug it in as normal the screen displays but with a yellow tint covering everything. Usually if I wiggle the connector around slightly it reverts to how it should be but so much as the slightest knock then the yellow returns :-k Can anything be done?
I don't think it's down to the cable as I've plugged that straight into the PCE and dont have any problem when turning that on. It's only the Super :|

Sounds like a poor internal connection. Anytime anyone says they "wiggle the _ to get it to work" it's a pretty good bet that the internal portion of that part needs some attention. Could be an AV port, a controller port, power port, etc. As systems age this is a pretty common issue.
If you know for a fact that the RGB worked fine at one time then investigating the area visually and reflowing fresh solder over all the component leads should work wonders :D

I'm not one for soldering :( But I think I know a guy who can help so will see what he says :) Thanks.
