About 10 months ago, my Voyager I/O card fried.

I got that fixed right away, but the monitor hasn't fired up since. I check for power to the monitor, and checked the fuse with my DMM. There seems to be power going into the monitor, but still no picture or neck glow.

I know with vector monitors, if there is no signal, there is no neck glow. I always thought with VGA monitors, there was neck glow whenever there is power. Is this correct? Or should I be checking for signal to the monitor instead?
 
If you have power to the monitor, you SHOULD have neck glow and be able to turn the brightness up to see power. However, I know there are some newer-type monitors that won't power up the HV if there is no signal applied.

If you tell us the monitor's chassis model, we should be able to tell you whether you should have raster even with no signal....
 
isw it vga???

mabye you could hook it up to a pc to test???

even if it wouldnt sync at least you could see if it was alive or not...
 
I asked a while back as to what res version went into the upright I have with no monitor, and someone told me medium-res....

Hey Longshot, did you ever get your Voyager up and running?
I just got one myself a few weeks ago off Ebay and wile searching for info about the game I ran across your post. My game was dead when I got it. My monitor did have neck glow but other than that it appeared to be dead. I decided to figure out why the game board wasn't booting up so after a little poking around with my volt meter it appeared the ATX power supply was bad so I put in a new power supply and the game came to life and the monitor fired up too. It needs a cap kit but works good enough to play the game. So turns out the monitor wont come on without a signal from the game. I assume if you don't have neck glow then you still have a monitor problem. Just thought that might help.
You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the inside of your coin door would you? Turns out the guy I got the game from happened to be at the right place at the right time. They were throwing the game away and gave it to him. They had stripped the coin door bear but left the dollar bill unit, it was dead anyway so I have to rewire the coin door. After adding up all the parts I need from Happs it came to $88.00 and I can get a new complete coin door for $113.65 so I got a new door on the way. I traced the harness from the JAMMA connector to the red 10 pin AMP connector so I assume that's the plug for the coin door. They cut the 2 wires going to the coin counter a red and brown,I assume they go to the red connector. The harness for the bill acceptor was all their and I have a new unit to install. I think I got it figured out but a picture sure would help. If their's anything I can check on mine to help you out let me know.
Thanks,
