Moving this to here for hopefully some more help -

Hey guys, just picked up a nice toobin with a REALLY sharp looking monitor today. I got it home and first the monitor and the sound would not come on. Then after checking all the connections a few times I finally got everything fired up. I turned it off ran out for a bit and when I tried to turn it on the sound came up but no monitor, after turning on and off again a few times the monitor finally decided to turn on. Any idea what could be causing this problem? When the monitor comes on it is a VERY sharp picture, zero burn, it looks fantastic. The game just travelled 150 miles via van and im sure there were bumps along the way. Any help would be appreciated. the inside of the cab was FILTHY and there is still a lot of caked on dust in there. I did give it a quick shopvac to gut the tumbleweeds out and all the cobwebs.

update -


checked all connections, everything seems solid. Also, if the monitor does not come on when I flip the switch it does not come on at all. I switch the power off then turn it back on, if the monitor is going to come on it will come on when I flip the swich back on. There is no delayed picture, either it fires or it doesnt. I do hear a slight crackle when the the game is powered off coming from the monitor, nothing crazy but it is def there...

any suggestions?

Could I need a new cap kit or flyback? This is my first time dealing with this sort of problem.
 
I know you said you checked your connections but did you check the connection between the tube and the neck board. I have a Narc which uses the same monitor and it will have that issue everyonce in a while after I move it. Free and easy to check if you haven't yet.
 
how does that mini board come off the monitor? It does wiggle around a little. I wanted to pull it off and re seat it, but wasnt 100% sure of the right way to take it off the tube. Can someone explain to me the right way to do that? I know I am prob being overly cautious but I don't want to mess with something unless I have at least some understanding as to how it should come on and off the right way.

Yeah you gently wiggle it off. But you have to discharge the monitor first. I recommend watching the arcade repair videos first. They will help you understand and identify arcade repair.
