Trying to get a customers game working, its playing blind. Street Fighter Alpha 3 in an old MKII cab with a Hantarex Polo 25" monitor. Getting 130v at the connector, fuse is good, but the monitor is completely dead. I did find a blown diode as can be seen in the first photo. I can replace it (once I learn the value), but am wondering what would cause it to burn up? Perhaps a bad flyback? That whole area of the chassis looks a little crispy, and there are (what appears to be) mouse dropping all around the flyback area. Makes sense, the owner claims he had a mouse problem before, or is this perhaps a perfect anology, maybe the flyback took a crap?
