I recently picked up a Ms. Pacman without a boardset in it. I scored a set from a very reliable member here and put in in the machine after it arrived. After some tinkering with the monitor, I got the machine up and running. I noticed that at that point the flyback was whining and would need to be replaced. Played a few games over the past few weeks and though the flyback continued to whine, the game played fine. Yesterday I turned the machine on and left it on for about an hour or so. When I returned, there was no display on the machine and the game is no longer running. I can still here the flyback whining but can't get anything to show up on the monitor and the game wont even play blind at this point. My question is this. Can all of these problems be due to the flyback needing to be replaced? Is something else the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
