I have an original Big Buck Hunter. It boots, but no monitor. The tube is an LG Phillips, The board was a Wei-Ya 3125B The whole assembly appears to be Makvision 3M25.
This is of course a 25" monitor.
Yes, some of the capacitors were leaking. I decided to get a universal board instead of trying to repair this one.
I got the new board in, installed it. Hooked it up the best I could with no instructions nor real prior experience ( I am a pinball guy, first video game attempt) .
When I turned it on, I saw sparking near the red lead (of the red, blue, green, yellow header) on the board. It also looks like I fried one of the heat sunk transistors. The transistor is tied into the red lead.
On the tube itself, I have a smaller red wire, black wire plug that has no place on new board along with a larger red wire red wire plug.
I know I am missing quite a bit. But I am unsure of what question to ask, let alone answer.
I guess at the end of the day, it is probable that I have a bad tube, and should just get a new tube and board assembly?
