There were issues like yours in some of A1200. They can be fixed but I don't remember exactly what should be done. Maybe somebody in this forum remembers the details.
BTW: are you using TV output or composite/RGB? |

Tomcat and Zipper have the solution
 If yours is a 1D4 board then I can vouch for this fix. Here's a picture to show what's required.. Thanks to Franko for the piccie. If you need the part, just let me know via PM and I'll post one out FOC. |

It appears that the 2b board already has a component in this area.
I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry |
