Hi All..

Plugged in my asteroids, its plays blind. It worked before...now it does not. Monitor is g05-801

No glow in the neck. On the board where the contrast and brightness controls are, there is a red LED, which is off. When I turn the machine off, the light comes on for a fraction of a second.

Al plugs have been pulled out and reseated.

I'll order in a cap kit since one has never been done to this unit.

Where is the best place to start testing??

After checking the fuses (including the ones in the monitor) and voltage at the monitor connector, I'd recommend taking out the monitor PCBs and inspecting the solder joints at all the headers. Often they will look like this:

If any do, re-solder them all.
