I recently got a Neo Geo MVS 2 slot and was cleaning it up. I was having problems getting my monitor how I wanted it, so with the control board down I was tweaking the knobs for contrast, brightness, etc. Well, while the system was on I unplugged the connectors to that board to see if maybe I could clean those and see if that would help. When I plugged the one back in the monitor went and stayed black and there is now a beeping noise coming from the circuit board that connects to the monitor. When I unplugged the fuse it stopped beeping so I thought that may be the issue. I bought the correct fuse and plugged it in and I still get the same sound. Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be? I did notice a capacitor was loose and that is probably the problem. I don't have much experience with this type of stuff and want some advice. And I don't want to get zapped. I appreciate any help that someone may have to offer.

I have attached 2 pictures of the capacitor to give you an idea of what the problem may be. That has to be the problem, right?

Plugging/unplugging a remote adjustment board while the monitor is powered on can and sometimes does damage the monitor.
