Long story short it worked when I bought it a few months ago
Spot killer started so I figure I'll bullet proof it so it's good for a while
I've capped it and installed additional parts as well including a lv2000
After I finished I powered it up and I blew a resistor it was r712
This is my first xy monitor attempt and I already don't like them
I gave up and a friend was nice enough to have worked on it and he got it working, I seen the monitor running a test pattern off of a test pattern generator.
Does a test pattern generator put the monitor under the same load like a game does?
Read below that's why I ask
I bring it home plug it in to my star wars game and I blow the games main fuse while the spot killer was on (this is where I started from)
I just moved the game into the basement so the main fuse holder could have come loose, anyway I replace that and try again
I immediately blow f100 and f101
I check power to the monitor , checks good
I check all voltages coming off the ar2 all check good
I replaced the fuses and test in my space duel still blows both fuses right away
I read and blowing those fuses is usually a bad chassis transistor
I test all the chassis transistors and I took out both on p100
I replace those test for shorts ( none)
Try again in my star wars and now I'm popping one of the diodes d101
And the fuses are still glowing ( f100 and f101)
What's going on here
Ideas?
