    Hi everyone,

    I got these 2 pal saturns that have the same problem, when I power them up I got these blurry lines that goes up and down in the screen, slowly and regularly.

    Is not so annoying and maybe you can't see them at first sight, anyway after 15 minutes playing or so this blurryness vanish and image is solid.

    No problems of this kind with a jap and a us saturn.

    I googled around but cant find any solution, I think is related to caps in psu but I'm not a technician or a good theoryst to know how to fix it

    anyone could help?

    ok, so I have to avoid these 69ers??

    Which pal version doesn't have this horrible problem and can I distinguish from the others?

    pal models 1 with oval buttons are ok?

    thank you
