I have an asteroids cocktail table where i still have some board issues, but I've replaced caps on the power supply, monitor, and all pcbs. It's failing self test now, beeping low on the first ram. I have an order in for new ram, but my question about the monitor is:
When should I expect to see test patterns appear? Are they dependent on having the board 100% working first before I see anything more then a dot on the screen?
I do not have the spot killer LED lit up, I have neck glow, I can hear minor "chatter", and there's a single point of light in the center of the screen.
Also, I've heard that the D904 diode causes a lot of issues. Is this one of them? At this point, should I look into replacing it? Is there any other testing I could do to narrow down any monitor related issues?
Thanks
