So I know its not an arcade monitor but I am building a mame cabinet, and I got a Sanyo TV to use. The people I bought the TV from (for $20
) said that some times the picture goes bad and you have to wiggle the cable. I figure no prob its something mechanically loose. I see the TV working fine, so I think all is great. So anyway I power up the TV today and there is nothing but a line across the screen. It only has coax input so I hook up a source and nothing changes. However I can't turn to channel 3 to ensure the input is "seen." However I can tell that the characters on the screen are changing when I change channels and volume. Anyway I take the case off and see a small widget shown below. It is pretty clear that it was soldered and has broken loose. I plug it in all the way to make sure it is making contact, no luck. So I'm hoping that one of you smart people will recognize this as a common problem. I have a a decent multi meter, but unfortunately I don't have access to a scope at home.
Thanks Yall.
