I picked up a Tron recently with a mostly working WG4900 inside, appears original. By mostly working, I mean that it would show just a line going up and down on cold startup, but after a tap of the cabinet or a brief warmup, the picture would come on, and looked decent. So I pulled the chassis looking for bad solder joints, which I did find some on the flyback. Patched those up and reflowed joints on the width coil, yoke pins and the 6/3 header pins for good measure. Now all I get is that bright line. I can wait for hours now and kick the game in the ass all I want, still no picture. What did I do?
The chassis appears to have new caps installed, not sure how long ago, but looks like recently. I suppose I could try a cap kit, but its just strage that patching up bad solder joints has acually made the problem worse, so I'm scratching my head with this one
Any ideas?
