So, sometime last year, I bought a Thunderblade locally, that was dead. After troubleshooting it, I determine its the suicide battery. I ordered the resurrection kit, installed it, and....nothing. I played with it for days trying to get it to work, only to pull the monitor to donate to a working game, and abandon thunderblade until I could locate a working board for it. Fast forward to today, just out of morbid curiosity, I plug it in. Upon doing so, it fires right up, and coins up, and I can hear it playing blindly, perfectly. What gives??? I mean, this is awesome and all, but what in the hell causes a game to just simply, "feel like working" months later? This blew my mind for sure. Now...to get a monitor back in it....
 
I had a Stargate that was super finicky that turned out to be a bad transformer. I doubt that a transformer was your issue but maybe a switcher?
 
Maybe when you pulled the monitor you bumped a loose connector? or without the monitor, the boards are getting enough power to boot up now? or maybe a tricky interlock switch?
