I have a Missile Command cabinet by Sonic. Something unusual happened one night as it was running fine and then out of nowhere the monitor and marquee went dark.
The monitor is in very nice shape and has never before been problematic. The fact that the monitor _and_ the cabinet light do not work leads me to believe that the monitor is fine (but wouldn't rule it out).
In troubleshooting tonight, I was able to get the cabinet light on once and that was on the first power-up and from there that's all she wrote (the cabinet had been powered off for about a month now).
The monitor sounded like it powered up but it remained dark. On subsequent power-ups the monitor did not sound like it was being powered on. Perhaps that is normal?
I replaced all the fuses (I think there were six if memory serves) regardless of the fact that the fuses that were being replaced passed continuity tests.
So...does this sound familiar? What else needs to be checked?
