My Pacman monitor blew a couple min ago!

Now I do not want to do this but looks I'm going to:(.
Anyone know where to find an LCD monitor I live in Ontario Canada, but I can drive to Buffalo or Detroit to get one. I also need one for my Spyhunter it to has problems.

Thank you for the help everyone and I'm sorry for putting an LCD in it.
 
it would be alot easier to fix what you have and cheaper then going lcd, also spy hunter doesnt like newer monitors. problems with syncing.
 
Was it just the tube or the chassis?

If it is just the tube, then it's time to start searching for that replacement tube :) Does Canada have Goodwills? I just picked up a Daewoo TV on CL in my continuing search for a drop in replacement for mine (it just has some bad burn).

So how would I tell what is wrong with it?
It just went black and then there was a burning smell.
I connected the PCB to another monitor and that worked perfect.
What do I look for first?
 
I would bet the flyback blew and it is a G07 monitor. Very common. Need to get your chassis rebuilt. If you don't know how to do it, there are plenty of guys on the forums that will do it for you. Buffett and Moddesit (spelling) come to mind.
 
Your best bet is try take the whole thing out and get a few good pictures of the board. That way the model can be determined and is possible that the problem may be able to be spotted right away.
