I just got an asteroids Deluxe that was DOA.

1.I replaced all the fuses. there were several blown.
That made the coin door lights come on.

2. Reflowed headder pins on deflection PCB. That gave me neck glow from the heater and the spot killer came on.

3. Reseated all the socketed chips on the game PCB, Cleaned the edge connector and now it plays blind and the spot killer is off. I have X Y outputs that are within range.

4. Turned the brightness up and nothing. Including no chatter.

I know I have a HV failure but not sure where to start with that. Any suggestions?
 
Monitor

It is the 2000 monitor not the 802. My biggest problem is that I cant find a decent schem on it. This is the first 2000 I have had. I just went off of what I remember from 6100s and 801/802s.

I would start by recapping the boards, especially the deflection and HV board. The transistors on the side of the monitor chassis could be the culprit or even the bridge rectifier at DB100.

I recently fixed a blind Asteroids that had a blown bridge rectifier at DB100. I had no voltage going to the HV board, thus no chatter = monitor was dead. When I received the machine, there were two blown fuses at F100 and F101. Keep in mind this was a G05, but something to be mindful of if you encountered blown fuses on the 19v2000. Replaced BR and all was good. I also replaced the caps, chassis transistors and Big Blue for good measure.

19v2000

I looked at the HV diode in the anode wire and it is bad. I have not checked anything else. I went ahead and orderd all the rebuild parts and The hv diode. Thank you for your suggestions. I will report back on what comes of this. Aaron
