I have a centipede caberet that I just bought and there is no picture on the monitor (Original 19" Electrohome)

Here is some information that may be useful:

1. It does not have neck glow on the back of the monitor.
2. The LED on the main board is solid red.
3. It plays blind and sounds good.
4. Fuses and power supply seem good, but I haven't tested these items thoroughly.

Any input for troubleshooting would be appreciated.
 
Sweet John! Glad to see a fellow PAC'er got it. I'm no monitor expert at this point but I'd just do a deluxe rebuild kit. Did the trick for my kickman's g07. It's a g07 I take it?
 
No neck glow is a bad sign generally. I doubt a cap kit will help (won't hurt to have new caps for when the monitor is working again). How does the flyback look? Is it cracked/oozing? Any blown fuses on the chassis? The flyback is not difficult to replace. Blown fuses could indicate other issues on the monitor board. I expect there will be a blown fuse as well.

You might take some pics of the flyback if you aren't sure.

I am thinking monitor chassis issue/flyback bad.

EDIT: You might want to see about having one of the many people on the forum that do monitor repairs fix this one. Just something to consider.

Monitor

Start by testing if you have power to the monitor. Then go from there. Little premature to scream capkit with out knowing that.
 
Caps

If it's a G07 with original caps? It's not premature...it's way past time!

I agree but he needs to have power to the new caps as well. I have had a lot of dead GO7s that caps have brought back to life. I still would check that first though before a shotgun repair.
 
A 19" G07 in a Centipede cabaret? I thought the cabaret's had 13" monitors....
