I have a Killer Instinct 2 machine that worked fine at home. I put it on it's back and hauled it 4 miles to setup on location to make some coins. Once I plugged it in, the screen was all black with one pink-purple glob of color. I turned it off, turned it back on, and it made a LOUD CRACK!!! (LOUD!!!!!), smoke, etc.
The monitor chassis is cooked. A trace on the bottom is blown totally off the board, a fuse is blown, and one of the caps is blown wide open. I tried to discharge the monitor, there was nothing at the anode hole. Nothing.
I shipped the board to Chad at ArcadeCup.
What caused this? Once I get the chassis back, is it safe to plug everything back in? What generally causes a monitor chassis to fry during transport?
