Trying to figure out why my monitor fried my Double Dragon board
Hey guys, I'm new to the whole, working on arcades and learning as I go but I just made a big mistake. Everything was going good, I have my Double Dragon Board hooked up to my Jamma harness and Power Supply correctly which I tested with a video converter to a regular house hold tv. Everything worked fine.
Now here's where the trouble started. I have a Sanyo 20 EZV that was pulled out of a VS. Dr. Mario, and worked right before I unhooked it. This monitor for some reason also has a standard plug in which Ive never seen. The monitor came out of one of the Vs. machine that has two monitors for two players and the machine had a plug in, in it so you could plug both monitors inside the machine then in ran out to one plug in. I plug the monitor into the wall outlet and it powered on all fine. But when I went to hook the monitor video signal to my Jamma harness and flip switch on the machine then plug the monitor into the wall a section of the board started smoking then caught a flame. Im pretty sure the board is done for now but what I want to know is what I did wrong? Could it be not switching the inversion to "no invert out" or is the video signal hooked up wrong? Im really stumped. Thanks for any help I would really appreciate it.
