WG K7000 keeps blowing 3 Amp fuse in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Base
Hello, I'm working on an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 machine for a friend. I replaced the 25" Wells Gardner K7000 chassis inside with one I bought off-line that someone had rebuilt, a mouse had nested in the original one & instead of rebuilding that one & cleaning off the droppings & urine I opted to go with buying one someone had already got up & running.
So I get the rebuilt chassis, pop it in & it works fine. I move on to work on some of his other cabinet & let it run for about an hour before adjusting anything. I start adjusting the contrast, brightness, horizontal everything with no problems. The picture was still a bit darker than I would've liked & the text was a bit blurred so I decided to adjust the focus & brightness on the flyback. I adjust the brightness & get a better result, it's still a bit blurry though. So I try adjusting the focus & as soon as I do the whole cabinet shuts off. The 3 Amp fuse at the base of the cabinet had blown, so I replaced it & there's a buzzing sound & after a couple of seconds the fuse blows again. I tried to make sure I didn't short anything on the chassis or check for any sign of something blowing on the chassis & nothing. When I disconnect the power to the monitor the cabinet works just fine.
Is it possible the flyback just went? The flyback was definitely replaced before I bought this chassis & the chassis worked just fine prior to trying to adjust the focus. I was using a metal screwdriver when adjusting it so there's a chance something arced or shorted but I don't know. I know when the flyback goes on a K7000 it blows the fuse on the chassis but the fuse on the chassis is just fine it's just the 3 AMP fuse int he MK3 base that goes & it's definitely related to the monitor some how I'm just not 100% how & wanted to check with everyone before replacing the flyback.
