Going to try to fix my first monitor - Sanyo cap question
Everyone,
I just picked up a really, really nice plywood Donkey Kong TKG4 cabinet, and although the game powers up fine, plays fine, and is in generally excellent shape, the monitor is having a few issues.
So - I'm going to attempt to fix it myself and see what I can learn in the process. I've done a bit of research, and I think that my attached pictures detail something called 'vertical fold' that supposedly is corrected with a cap kit.
Is this diagnosis correct? Following Dokert's Sanyo flow chart, I think I'm contemplating the proper repair. Any pointers for someone starting out? I've watched Youtube videos on monitor discharging and am prepared to do that and I have all of the soldering equipment to do the job. I'm no stranger to soldering - I've just not repaired a monitor before.
Thanks for any help - sorry to post up all n00b-like here... I'm just looking for confirmation one way or the other before I set out on what will be a very foreign (and time-consuming) experience for me. I'm really looking forward to learning the work - I just know I'm going to be slow and I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
