A friend has a D9200 in a 2003 Golden Tee with no green. The neck board had some crystalizing/flux residue burn on the transistors and the power resistors. I took it home and cleaned it up, resoldered all of the burnt parts and a few other questionable solder joints. I put it back in the machine and it looks great. From reading a few other threads about this, I turned down the color drive to minimize the chance of this happening again but I wasn't sure how low to go. Anyways, an hour later they are playing the machine and the green goes out again.
A few questions:
1. The troubleshooting says check IC201, R236 and Q207. Q207 is not populated so does this mean my neck board is the older or newer version from the Service Bulletin?
2. What levels should I turn the drive down or does this really matter?
3. Is my best option to scope the green signals/test points everywhere and see where it is no longer present?
4. Any other advice or things that I should be doing/checking?
5. Is there a way to factory reset the monitor to default values? I would want to do this and then turn the levels down from there.
6. Should I use silicon to attach the neck board again to hold it in place or is that just precautionary for when they ship machines from the factory?
The green went out after a shot which makes me suspect a loose cable, jamma harness or possible neck board. he checked around back there but couldn't find anything loose.
I am debating swapping in a spare Nanao MS8-26SU that I have and taking his D9200 so that I can just work on it at home and not have to drive back adn forth. I don't know if I want to keep the D9200 though as the threads I have read make it sound terrible. It would however make a nice monitor for a GT(EGA)/PGA Tour(SVGA but may work VGA)/Buck Hunter(CGA) combo cabinet I want to attempt.
