Hey guys,
Picked up a Nintendo R-Type last weekend with a sharp xm-2001n that was "not working". Get it home and plug it in, can hear that high voltage isn't working. Got the chassis pulled out, right away it was one of those "well theres yer problem!!!"
I'm assuming this is the result of a cold solder joint over the years? Searching this is common problem with this monitor. I've never seen one burnt so badly, all the solder is gone! Im guessing the width coil is high voltage? Would someone mind explaining how the width coil/circuit works?
Going to install cap kit, reflow a few spots, and repair the leg/pad/trace tonight and see what I get.
Any advice if there is another underlying issue?
