I have a Neo Geo MVS Woody that I just got. I saw it turned on and tested and the cross hatch screen came on. Then when I got it home when I hook it up the monitor is just black. What could be the problem? I know there is power because there is a buzzing sound in the back and there is also a small red light that indicates there is power. And there is no sound when I put carts in the two slot. I've tried other boards as well and same thing. I've posted this in other forums as well but wanted to see also what people here have to say. Any opinions? I'd appreciate it!
 
Check all the connections to the monitor PC board to see if something came loose in transport. Sometimes the molex connections on the board can come loose. Be careful not to touch the flyback transformer and the wire connecting to the suction cup on the monitor. It's high voltage even if the unit is turned off and unplugged.

Sometimes Neo Geo systems are set to have their attract mode audio turned off. This is a test menu setting on the board. Try putting some coins in and hitting start to see if the sound comes on. Also check the volume control on the board.
