Did you power it down, wait, and then repower it while still on its back? Or execute a manual degauss from its menu? That's all it usually takes. |

I've got a Sony 21" monitor, I can confirm it works on its back (it's in a cocktail). I had to degauss it about 2 times to get the colors right. Also had to move the subwoofer away from the bottom of the monitor. |

I really appreciate this. My kid will be ecstatic when she gets home and sees her cabinet running again. All the best! IMB |

I really appreciate this. My kid will be ecstatic when she gets home and sees her cabinet running again. All the best! Glad to see youve got the solution. Personally though i have never made out by purchasing (Jamma Cabinet, Good Monitor, Complete except game board. most sellers have in fact pulled the game board a long time ago because the monitor was bad. Your best bet really if you want the total arcade experience, is to buy an empty cabinet with no monitor hat still has the jamma harness and the control panel. then everything is truly open when it comes to selecting things beyond the jpac interface. at least you arent an initial $200 more into the cabinet initially than you would have been had you just bought it without a monitor. You are much more ahead in other words to buy a complete cabinet without monitor, power supply, etc, for $200 than you would be if you buy a cabinet with a supposed working monitor for more money and it turns out that the 15 year old POS doesnt work. YOur simplest route is this. Get yourself the basic complete 25" empty cabinet with jamma harness and cp for $200 and then order a Jpac, and a Neotec hybrid monitor from Quarterarcade On ebay instead of hoping to get an old cabinet with a WG from the early 90s that you are hoping will work right.
