Review on VSDISPLAY Controller M170ETN01 1 WYD170SKD Monitor - High-Performance Display with Enhanced Controller by Dave Kumar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you have picture glitches on your Arcade1up, here's how to fix it!

First I had a problem with the board I got from seller "Shenzhen Weisi Electronics Co. Ltd"and they went ahead to help me solve the problem including sending replacement boards. Thumbs up for you! Thanks! What I saw was a bunch of small horizontal lines all over the picture, moving very fast. I installed the board in several places in my Arcade1up case, without success. After many diagnostics, it turned out that my problem was an insufficient grounding issue where the factory ground strap for the LCD controller was not sufficient.. Make sure there is enough adhesive hook/loop behind the controller as an insulator (see blue arrow in image) which is NOT optional. If you don't separate the back of the LCD controller from the monitor body, it won't work/turn on After isolation, you'll need a couple of small fine-thread screws to fix the necessary add some additional ground connections (see the green arrows in the picture). I used a computer screw and they were perfect! After the ground screws were added there was no glitches or artifacts on the display! Many of Arcade1up's retropy build articles only touch on grounding issues, but this is VERY important. I hope my painful experience helps someone. Again, Shenzhen Weisi Electronics Co. Ltd. did everything possible to help me, great seller!

Cons
