WG D9200 ticking, then works again after a power cycle
so as I come into work today, I observe that one of our games (a Wild Riders, NAOMI 2) has a black screen. I thought the original cart I got in it might've froze, but the sounds were still playing. popping open the back door I heard the D9200 ticking pretty violently.
just on a whim though, I shut the power off, unplugged the sound and the VGA connector (to hear wtf's going on cause it's so loud in our arcade), powered on again, it ticked a few times and as soon as I plugged the VGA cable back in, the ticking stopped, it made the digital monitor hissy sound and low and behold, the monitor worked again all day.
the picture's pretty squished and jacked up looking, it definitely needs caps. but will re-capping it do away with the ticking/not powering on problem too?
