Blue Screen

[Adamski]

Hi All.
Bet someone is gonna say "what a 🔔 end"
And "everyone knows not to do that" but
......
I accidentally left my cab on with a pandora box plugged in for 7 or so hours then switched it off and decided to rotate the screen for a different game and now the whole screen is BLUE!
Have I damaged something in rotating the screen soon after being on or have I knocked something.It is a real struggle to rotate

You need to plug something different into the monitor (maybe another jamma PCB) to see if it's the Pandora or the monitor that has a fault.

Yeh test with another PCB , I assume you have most probably knocked something rotating.

[Adamski]

Have done.Its the monitor 😩
It's a Polo for the record

 

[Adamski]

It was ok prior to rotate

 

[TheDaddy]

Check RGB connectors , I odnt know much about CRT's as I dont have any and not had any for many years.

Dave.

 

[Adamski]

Could I just have knocked something like the neck board?

 

[TheDaddy]

That and the RGB connector make sure everything connected.

Dave.

inspect neck card and make sure none of the heatsinks are touching the resistor legs

And make sure the neck board is still firmly on the pins of the tube.
