OK so I get a Area 51/ max force cab thats got a Wells 25" 7400 series in it, turn it on and I can hear the game but no monitor. OK no problem right (it's the monitor chassis thats out.) Well after swapping it out with a known good chassis I get a un-sync'd pic no matter what I try (jumpers on the area 51 board sync pins, everything) They when I'm going to test out the Area 51 board on a different monitor I notice something very very wrong with the AC power inlet. The ground is on the left and not in the middle of the three plugs!!!!
How the hell is this thing still running and why hasn't it blown the fuse? So i get that all straightned out and try to get the board to sync up to a different monitor.
nope same thing. no vert hold or hor hold. I eventually find out that it's actually both the Monitor and the area 51 boards that have the issue.
I'm going to order some IC's from bob but has anyone ever heard of such a thing. I would've though that the wire switching would have popped the fuse. Instead it seems to have blown the sync on both the PCb and monitor chassis. Ugghhhh Anyone have any insite or pointers. This one's pissin me off today.
