I bought my mousetrap about a year ago brought it home on its back from the bay area. moved it around a bunch took it to cax last year on its back brought it home it worked great. about a month ago i pulled ouot the board to test another board then when i reinstalled my board no monitor at all.

i finally opened the back today and saw why the monitor was dead. the ac line to the monitor had no molex connector on the female end the stripped wires were just shoved into the male end. how the hell did this not screw up sooner? i love hack ops they make this hobby exciting ;)

Fortunately, the repair is very simple and easy.
