Finally a GO7 success story, and ARII test bench build
Hey! Guess what? I'm not asking any questions, just telling a positive monitor repair story.
All started when a buddy offered me the guts from a centipede cocktail he bought off ebay. He parted it so he could make a multi for his kids, I know that sucks but at least I saved the rest.
13" go7 fbo with burn and it would fire up, then immediately shutdown. Pulled the chassis, nice and clean no work done to it. Wiggled a few caps and found one that had a leg blown off. Capped it and reflowed 90% of all solder pads. Swapped tubes with a tv donor I had ready.. Its brand new! Finally a go7 that didn't take me days to repair..
Also took the gut if the game and built myself a real ARII test rig. I've been using my games for years to test most of the ARs I rebuild. So this will save time and the hassle of pulling the game out each time.
Yay!
