So this Asteroids used to be rock solid before we moved cross-country. I bought it a few years ago off @Slackmoe who I believe put quite a bit of work into it.
Powered it up for the first time today since the move and it plays blind.
  • Game behaves normally except for no picture on screen
  • Neck glow and monitor noise present
  • LED on monitor board does not light up at all except for a split second while powering off
  • Brightness and contrast dials do nothing
  • The two monitor fuses and five on the power block confirmed fine
  • Reseated all connectors
Whatever happened must have happened during transit. I did accidentally leave the manual in the coin box and it ended up on the floor of the cab, but I can't imagine that did anything.
Everything looks fine to my eyes, but I'm not familiar with Atari cabs or vector monitors.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
