I finally got around to repairing the cold solder joints on the Super Pac monitor tonight. I put everything back together and fired it up. Monitor came up, colors were good, heard a little "sparking", which turned out to be under the anode cup. Discharged, cleaned it up, put it back together..... and the game won't boot. Checked the fuses...good, then I see the bottom connector on the power board and the top 2 pins are burnt.
Why would sparking under the anode cup lead to a burned connector on the power board? Not sure if any other damage occurred to the game pcb itself yet, i dont see anything burned on the game board, nothing blown or hot or melted.
