I have recently had a magic 3.1 installed in my Ps2 (PAL V3). Every thing runs fine, but I have noticed that there are diagnal line running down my screen.
They are really only noticable at image edges and when something is at a distant.
It make me think that there is nosie on the video signal or something as such.

This was not happening b4 the mod... Anyone know what the prob could be?

Cheers

Are you running your video through a VCR?

R U using a composite video lead or a component video lead??


It could be an EMC problem. One of the mod wires running too close to the fan or the Power supply and picking up some interferance.

First thing, if u r using the scart lead that came with the PS2 then bin it and get an RGB Euroscart PS2 cable.

If u still got a problem then u will have to open her up and take a look at your wiring. It could be just that a few of the wires r too long and r susceptible to too much interferance.

Hope this helps!!!
