4600 issue..trying to work up from Noobie status =)
Alright.. so I just did battle with a couple WG6100s and got those working which included Bob Roberts delux kit..flybacks..mini LV2000 boards and of course the chassis mounted transistors. Both those guys are running nicely.
So this weekend I had the nieces over and the 4600 in my Gorf went poof...No big deal as I knew it was on it's way out and had pre-orded a cap kit from BR. Before it went the monitor had the shakes and the left side had a pretty good roll in it on the left side. I was actually watching it went it went..it did a 'big' left to right shake..then everything went blue..then gone.
So I pulled it last night and capped it..cleaned up the guns with the rejuvenator (which tested nicely after it was done) and I still have about the same issue.
Here's what I have so far.
Power the game on and the screen does 'flash' for a split second then nothing. If it's the first time I power the game on after sitting for about 10 minutes I'll get that blue screen again for about 2-3 second...then it goes away.
If I turn the game off and on real quick I don't get the blue screen..just the flash when I turn it both off and on. I have neck glow and can here the monitor crackle and turn on..game still plays blind
I'm not really sure where to start but I do have another 4600 in my robotron that I could swap around the 3 boards.
It there a trouble shooting FAQ like the 6100 has?
Else where do I start with this guy? I've read the fly backs are pretty much bulletproof in these guys
Edit to add..All wires and pins were reflowed on all 4 boards
