Hi all! I have a VA6 Saturn Jp model 2, and i have noticed, that while the cd is being read and the laser is moving there are faint rolling lines in the picture. I need to recap the video out part, but i don't think that's the problem. I am also running a ReSaturn 12v external psu, might there be a problem with that?
Thanks for the tips in advance!

It's a problem on the motherboard. No one managed to figure out what causes it yet. Some people suspect aging caps / EMI filters, but others fixed it by replacing other discrete components like some of the 74 ICs. Whatever it is, it seems to be caused by old age, not the power supply or even the CD drive (it happens even with the cd drive removed).
