I have a Donkey Kong 2005 team play PCB that is running on a non nintendo monitor. The first game in this was an arcanoid Jamma board. When I placed the Team Play board in the video was upside down and all colors matched perfectly. I got an inversion board but it does not seem to be working right.

I know nothing about these inversion boards so it could be something very simple that I am not doing that is not causing it to work properly. I hook it up and I can get it to work in the non-inversion mode (upside down); but the inversion mode comes up with a blank screen.

There seems to be no easy way to flip the yoke connectors so I wanted to ask for a little help first.

I'd say flip the yoke connector, sometimes you have to cut the connector in half. Is it a connector or wired in, yoke to chassis?
 
I took some pics of the chasis but I can tell they are hard to see. The yoke connector is a green connector that I do not believe could be flipped. I could flip the wires at the yoke but I havenever done that before and am not sure how this works.

you should not need the inverter board for that PCB.

yes those yoke connectors suck on that model monitor.
they are non standard and it is easier to cut the wires and put in a molex connecter to reverse and flip the video.

let me know when is a good day to do repairs and ill come down and help you get it rite. the BBQ is on you;)

Look really close next to where the yoke plugs in, and make sure there's not another idential spot for it to plug in next to it. A lot of those have a seperate plug that will invert the yoke wires.
