I recently picked up a couple of drivers after a bit of a road trip... one is a Cruising Exotica and the other a Cart Fury. Both were non-operational when I picked them up.
Getting the machines home and a chance to poke through them what I determined was:
(1) The Cart Fury monitor chassis was bad. The flyback is shot.
(2) I was told the Exotica's monitor worked but needed a rebuild... after moving the Exotica's chassis to the Cart Fury (both use the same Neotec monitor) it was a pleasure to see the chassis worked great ... no rebuild necessary.
(3) The power supplies on both machines were shot. The Cart Fury PS was completely dead doing "nothing"... not even the tiny bump of the fan you can oftentimes see with dead ATX style PS's... the Exotica PS did put out voltages but they were very iffy... and would oftentimes just shut down.
(4) Unfortunately... the Exotica PCB is dead... one of the non-repairable/replaceable chips that controls the graphics is bad.
Well... at least that gave me a good excuse to pull the Exotica monitor chassis to use for the Cart Fury. After getting a new Power Supply and installing the working chassis, Cart Fury is up and running. I have a cap kit, flyback and HOT coming for the Neotec... I have a power supply for it... and I purchased a working PCB. I think I may drill a hole in the door and install an 80MM fan blowing at the PCB where the heatsinked chip that went bad in my current PCB is located...
Anyway... without further ado...
Cart Fury
