Mine don't do that even when I run the vacuum. Could it be 50/60 hz compatibility? Even the best stepdowns don't usually convert that and some...
try ironing the connector, that will usually re bind the pins enough to allow you to reinsert it Edit: Ive done that on sega cd cables, mileage...
I have seen this with faulty ce203 caps. This is the fat one on the big board.
The colors are cleaner when backlit, frontlit ones are hazy and washed out.
I have seen them on ebay a few times, much harder to find than the normal 1150
They seem to have switched over just before launch. So only the earliest units are va0.
Opus was a replacement motherboard used when systems were sent in for a rrod fix. God knows how many are out there.
A few that know of, excluding obvious "rare in my backyard" and custom built or dev items: VA0 and VA2 Dreamcasts (NTSC U) Small board Sega...

Golden Sun the Lost Age, most of the Legend of Heroes games,

Had a unit with similar controller issues and some major glitching in FFIII, turned out to be the CPU was fried. The first one is probably a CPU...
My bet is the vram chips. Often they just need a reflow, but actual chip failures are common too. You would need at minimum a heat gun to remove...
could happen if one of the video lines was shorted to a voltage line.
Probably, the only DTLs that should id as SCPH are the pcmcia units. You got screwed.
