I'm on working on an Omega Race with a v2000. I've just put the monitor back together including a new HV diode as described here. The game boards themselves are a work in progress, but I got them to the point where I could tell the attract mode was running without the monitor plugged in. I installed the monitor in the game and powered it up. The Omega Race attract mode was displayed. However, the Omega Race test mode would not display, it was just a series of scrolling diagonal lines. Back to normal mode, attract mode shows up fine... for a few minutes. After a few minutes the screen went blank, with a few random flashes here and there. Every now and then it would start to display the attract mode, and then flake out again.
I suspected the game boards even though I could tell the program was running. That is until something blew up in the monitor. I quickly turned off the power, and this is what the deflection board looks like now:
So my question is, what could have caused this failure? Is it possible the output from the game boards themselves could have caused this? Thanks for any help...
