For as long as I've had this Pacman machine, the picture has been plagued with a yellowy-green haze and vertical bars (they're yellowy-green, too). I finally got brave enough to install a cap kit from Bob, hoping it would solve the picture problem. Got the monitor back in... and the same lines are present; no improvement at all. Big let-down- my first cap kit, and foiled!
It's a WG 4600 series monitor, and below are some post-cap kit pics. I'm noticing that it appears slightly out of focus now, too... like the images are ghosting (har har) right below themselves.
I suppose my questions would be: Does this indicate a board issue? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I ought to try next? Within the last few weeks, I've cleaned the power supply, replaced the fuses and fuse blocks, and thrown a new plug on the cord so that I can once again have a grounding pin. I'd like to really get this looking sharp, but need a push in the right direction.
I see a similar issue at arcade game over that says, but the pic is so small I can't say whether it's a match, for sure:
128 Bars on screen. Hazy shade of Yellow or Red over entire screen.
2C short p7 to p4 yellow.
2D short p7 to p4 red.
I don't know what to do with this info, though. I don't have 128 bars, either... mine are weird: they are wide on the left side of the screen, but get closer and closer to each other on the right
Here's the pics.
