So get this....I just finished working in the shed on my TRON board, and voila, it finally lives! I was running through the test screens, checking everything out, and was just about to start filming the few glitches that are present to show everyone here for troubleshooting, when suddenly...
"WHOOOOOSH!"
I look up, and what looks like a huge jet of white steam (not smoke) is escaping through all around the top of the monitor for a few seconds before dissipating. I freak out to Liz screaming for her to unplug it quickly, and we de-ass the area with a quickness. It honestly reminded me of Back to the Future, when the DeLorean comes back through time and is still cold, and they opened the door. Same sound, same look as the steam(?) escaped.
I'm assuming the vacuum tube delaminated or something, and that was air rushing into the void, that made it look like steam.
Not sure what sort of monitor it is, an old WG from a Ms Pac-Man I believe. I got it from Rob a few weeks ago and tonight was the first time I hooked it up. its pretty well toast though.
Just thought I'd share.
