All right. So I have a Atari Blasteroids with a Sharp XM-2001N monitor. The colors where so dim you couldn't see the picture unless the room was completely dark. Figured I would do a cap kit on it to see if it brightened it up any and noticed the flyback had a crack in it. The piece that holds the two turn knobs was about to fall off.
I bought a flyback from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sharp-XM180...=item3d04598dd0:g:nGkAAOSwQTVWBeTv&rmvSB=true
I installed it today as well as fixed a few solder joints/lifted traces and replacing the resistors at R605 and R607. I still have yet to do the cap kit.
I reinstalled everything to test and when I power up I don't get a picture and I get a loud humming noise from the monitor. Also I noticed that with the power on I don't get anything on the screen, but once I switch the machine off I have a blue colored dot in the middle of the screen. I do have neck glow for a short time and then it just disappeared along with the hum until I turn it off and back on again.
Any help would be appreciated as I have zero idea what I'm really doing. First time working on a monitor.
