my donkey kong game & watch is acting funny.

sometimes, and only in the case of specific areas of the screen, the LCD sprite position doesn't light up to full intensity. it's a dull grey instead of the hard black that it should be. other times the sprites will stay illuminated longer than they should, and just stay on the screen after i move the character forward.

when i reset the machine and it lights up all possible sprite positions i can see which ones are the faded ones, so i know it applies specifically to certain areas of the screen and not others.

my batteries are brand new and mulimeter tested at 1.5v or slightly higher.

any info would be appreciated.

It may be an issue of the ribbon cable inside connecting the screen to the game, a solder joint or contact trace needs to be either re-touched or cleaned.
