Hey all, first post here so if I leave out crucial info or screw something up, please let me know. I've reviewed the stickies about monitor repair and basic monitor info, but beyond that I know nothing about monitors or electrical repair in general, so I'm really hesitant to do anything.
I picked up an Aero Fighters game (in a GORF cabinet) a little while ago. The seller says everything works except the monitor (a WG-19K7901) crapped out on him and he didn't want to deal with fixing it.
When I plug in the system and turn the power on, I see/hear arcing electricity between two small boxes on the monitor's circuit board. Image links below. Also, very short video of the arcing (sorry about the poor quality).
What's the best course of action? Easiest to buy replacement parts or just a whole new monitor?
