I have this monitor thats not working, nothing on power up no neck glow.

It had this "fuse" looking thing on the neck board it looks like its blown. What the hell is it??

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks :)

Thats not a fuse, its a spark gap and should be left on there as is. One thing about these monitors if you don't already know - even though they have a regular cord on them, you CANNOT plug them into a wall outlet. They need isolation, and they need only 100 volts, not 120 like a house typically has. You need a power brick from a Nitendo cabinet to fire it up.

Chances are if it was plugged into anything but a nintendo power brick the main fuse is prob blown.
 
o.k I checked the only fuse on the chassis I could find (800 mA) its good.
I checked the ISO transformer and it says its 100 volt but reads 117 volt .

Also is it possible to get a replacement "spark gap" after I cut it off thinking it was a fuse and needed to be replaced. I can't re-solder it because the leads are to short. (What an ass clown move I must admit)

I don't know can I swap in an EZ 20 chassis ???
 
Agreed.... bet with a little finess you could solder the clipped ends back together on that spark gap.
Or solder new leads to it and then solder it back in. (another reason I save capacitor leg clippings)


Check VR910 which is the B+ potentiometer for proper operation and range between all legs.

Damn thats a good idea with the cap. legs.

I soldered some wire ends to it and got it back in and she fired up.

That picture is not a Nintendo monitor. Looks more Sega...but I'm not for sure on that.
