Hey guys,
Im in a little need of help so I can get this project done and move on. About a year ago I bought a Mechanized Attack machine. When I fired it up, I noticed that the color red was not being displayed on the monitor. I tracked the problem to the PCB connector, and found that if I wiggled it around the red would appear and everything looked great. This led me to belive that one of the wires going to the connector was loose.
After fixing this problem, I restored the cabinet which was in rough shape. I also completed a cap kit on the monitor for prevenative maintenance. I put everything back together, fired up the game, and found that there is a new problem. The problem is that everything that is supposed to be red in the game is now being displayed as yellow. All the other colors are fine. I tried messing around with the PCB connector again but it doesn't fix the problem. Now it is my understanding that red and green are mixed to make yellow which would mean that its not a monitor issue since the red gun is working. So my question to the arcade gurus is where should I start? Should I pull apart the PCB connector and look for a short? or should I be looking somewhere on the PCB itself for the problem?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. If pictures are needed I can post a few once I get home from work.
Thanks in advance.
