Mortal Kombat 3 Monitor Is Bad Now!!!!! What Do I DO???
Im going completly crazy, i bought new controls and joysticks for this mk3, game is off while installing them, i get to the microswitches, so i turn on machine to find out which microswitch corresponds with what, one of the switches must have touched that metal clamp on the inside of the control panel, i saw an arc, and then a faint burnt smell, i immediately run to the back of the arcade inhale the monitor chassis, and i smell nothing at all that would indicate failure. the game obviously isnt powered anymore, i check the power supply fuses, the the left one is fine, the right is burnt, i replace the right one. boot the game up, i hear the sounds, but no monitor... i turn off machine, i check fuse on chassis, its burnt, i replaced with another 250v fuse, turn game on, nothing on both ends, game or monitor. i check power supply, fuse is burnt, i check chassis fuse is perfectly fine. i replaced power supply once again, without the fuse inside thchassis, the game turns on sounds lights all that stuff, but once fuse is put into chassis and flipped on, nothing..... it keeps blowing the damn power supply fuse but not the monitors fuse.... What the hell is happening..... if you've read my posts, they are always about how my monitors are screwing me...... i Just bought this game, brought it up 3 flights of steps, ordered a bunch of restoration shit for it, and now no monitor? so now i have mk1, mk2, and mk3 all with monitors that DO NOT WORK...... maybe its me, i have horrible luck, maybe its a sign saying i need to back out of this arcade crap before it eats me alive.
im extremely down at this point, and i feel like there is no hope... please somebody help me out, suggestions, tips, advice, i can provide pictures if needed, or additional info.
thank you
