Alright, here's the story. I got a Popeye that was sold to me as working but with a totally dead monitor. I got it home, powered it up, and lo and behold it powered up and worked fine (picture was not great but not horrible).
After running for a while and being turned off and on a couple times, the image progressively became more shaky and started to fold over, which escalated until the monitor suddenly shut itself off. It wouldn't come on again.
I went ahead and installed a cap kit since I was fairly sure it needed one; I also found that the 300mA fuse was blown. After recapping and replacing the fuse, I gave it power and it still won't turn on whatsoever. I'm still fairly new at this stuff so if anyone could tell me what to check next, it would be much appreciated!
