messed with B+... after a bit, monitor is now dead?

So, I had a monitor that I needed to adjust the B+ voltage, since I went from a medium res game to a low res game. The bottom had that missing section that showed the B+ needed to be adjusted... so I did. Everything was great. I turned the game on the next day, and went to start a new game. Hit the start button and BOOM. No picture.

When I go behind the cab to see the monitor, there's no neck glow, and I can hear a light "tick tick tick" noise. It's getting power, and the fuse is fine. Not sure what is wrong. I can only assume this has to do with me messing with the B+? Does this sound normal?
 
I didn't give you one because I'm not sure. IT was in an NFL Blitz machine... wells gardner, but I can't remember what the model is. Medium/low res switchable. Sorry.
 
Most likely you've got the B+ too high and it went into shut down to prevent you from x-raying yourself. Turn it back down a bit, and turn on the game and see if the monitor stays on. After it's FULLY WARMED UP, you can try adjusting the B+ back up to where it should be. You may have to turn your Brightness down as well.
