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!
