Sorry, but it's another Asteroids playing blind thread
For starters I apologize for this, I have been searching the forums for info on this. Problem is, I'm seeing results where the final fix was something that isn't broken on mine, or the thread ends up unresolved with whatever repair work got it working.
I have an Asteroids Revision 5 with an Electrohome G05-802 Issue 3. The game plays blind, spot checker is not on, no static or chatter on the tube. Neck glow. I placed my Asteroids Deluxe board in the game and no picture either, played blind.
I actually had this problem earlier, after testing the 12 pin molex up at the monitor I previously had a low voltage. This ended up being because of a short from the coin door connection. Unplugged that and it worked.
Now, the voltage up at that molex is fine. I pulled the deflection board and reflowed point on all the connectors, tested all the fuses.
So what do I test now. Do I open up the hi-voltage cage and test things in there? I've seen R900 & R901 be problems as well as the diode in the anode cable. Should I remove & test the diode?
Looking for other things I should look at here. This chassis was repaired by Chad, and it was working great until now with this problem. Could the problem be elsewhere?
Thanks for any help and assistance here.
