I just purchased a game with a U5000 monitor in it. It was displaying all red when I bought it. I have heard that the transistors on the neck board overheat and are a common problem. When I took a look, sure enough the pads on the middle one were completly black and the pads lifted. It already had jumper wires attached though. Looking at the other two transistors the pads were also lifted, but didn't show the same signs of heat damage and didn't have jumpers. I went ahead and added jumpers and touched up any suspect looking solder joints. Now it has way too much green. Although the picutre doesn't show it, there is blue and red but it is just over powered by the green. There are also some horizontal lines across the screen
The first three pictures were how I recieved it, the third is the picture after I added the jumpers and touched it up. Any ideas? Should I replace the transistors as a starting point, along with a cap kit?
It also looks like there was some high temperatures on the chassis as well, I can try to get some pictures soon.
