When I got the machine the both monitors were dead. (I have 2 california speeds linked). I bought 2 new Tri Mode monitors from HAPP. Installed them both. One has a perfect picture the other is missing red. I pull the cable from the nice picture board and ran the monitor off the 2nd PCB and have a perfect picture. Fast forward a few weeks later and now when I power up the machine the monitor blinks on and off and is missing red. I found if I press on the jamma connector at the cpu board the screen no longer turns on and off, but the red is still missing.
I'm guess the cpu board has a bad solder joint / crack? Not being very familiar with arcade boards what should I check as I'm fairly certain its an issue on the cpu board itself. Also just to double check I through a 60-1 in that game and the picture came up perfect with the same jamma harness that should be connected to the california speed cpu.
I am tempted to just buy a new CPU and be done with it, but alas they are not readily available, and it seems like it could be an easy fix.
