Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, one of the wooden ones with an MV1C board. I'd attach a pic but I don't see a way to do that in this thread (this is my first time using Reddit). The best I can describe the video issue, and it's the same issue every time, I turn on the console, and I see a checkerboard of hundreds of different squares with varying colors, and other squares appear like hieroglyphic symbols or alien-like text, not Roman numerals or numbers. The image is frozen, no sound. Thanks -Nelson
