Perfectly working Hantarex polo monitor suddenly went blank.
Hi all. i have a hentarex 25" monitor that was working perfectly in a SF alpha 2 cab. out of nowhere it went black. i checked the power cable going to the monitor and it shows 120v. i checked the fuse after the power cable and it is fine too. the tube is not lighting up and it appears that the monitor isnt getting power. the game plays fine and i can hear it working. i even swapped a known working board in and it also was blank so i know its not the game. what should i look at to try and repair this monitor? i am fairly proficient at working with electronics although, monitors are new too me...
also....while im on the subject of monitors. can anyway tell me how to check to see if a monitor has been properly de-energized? the last time i pulled a monitor out....i did the usual method of using a flat head screwdriver with aligator clips and grounding to the chassis. there was no pop, and i did it a few times. even put the cap directly to the chassis to be sure. thinking it was de-energized, i began working and got zapped while touching the neckboard. what is the absolute be all end all to ensure a monitor has no juice stored?
