Hi. I am new here so please forgive the the question if it has already been answered. I have searched threads like "Nintendo monitor repair " "Sanyo EZ monitor repair" but I have not been able to find what i am looking for.

Problem... I just picked up a Dk Jr cab with no PCB boards. The monitor, power supply, and controls are all present. The power unit works and the monitor hums but does not display a picture. There was a faint "burning" smell so i shut is down. The board looks good without scorching or signs of electrical trauma. (I did not plug the monitor directly into the wall but i cant be certain that it was not done before i got it)

Questions...
Is it worth having repaired? and where should I have that done. I live in Modesto Ca. I did find a place on-line Arcade CRT http://www.arcadecup.com/... any opinions?

I do have some 22 inch computer CRTs that i could use... is there an adapter card for this?

Your help is appreciated!

Thanks.
 
holy crap

as soon as i posted i saw the "post monitor questions here" directions... please forgive me... Told you i was new at this.
 
Hmm, it could be that there's no PCB? The monitor won't display an image if there isn't a game to be displayed. Unless I'm reading it wrong...
 
I would say try it with the game board first and see what happens. Sounds like you're keeping the machine so you're going to need the board whether you change monitors or not.

Without a game board, a Nintendo monitor will display a white (or grey) screen. If it's not doing that, then there is something wrong with it. You don't need a board to verify that the monitor at least fires up.
