Billabs 19" CGA monitor doesn't turn on- just 'click-click-click' s , over and over..
Hi!
I have a Donkey Kong fitted with a new Billabs 19" CGA monitor from arcadeshop - beautiful picture!
This has worked perfectly for me until yesterday when I moved the arcade machine a few feet on the carpet, gently. The monitor no longer powers up. I've verified proper power to it and the game itself turns on, but the monitor just clicks. I hear something that sounds like a relay? It goes *click-click-click!* *click-click-click* over and over again. The tube never actually turns on (no high pitched noise).
The odd thing about this is- this happened once before when I moved the arcade machine a few feet on the carpet, however the problem went away in a few hours and has been fine for a month now- until yesterday.
I had written off the first time as a fluke (bad power in the building? who knows) ...but now I'm really worried about my monitor.
There's got to be just one loose thing I can reconnect or something I can check, but I'm nervous about touching the monitor too much. It can't be permanently gone, can it?
Thanks!
