Failing my skill check...

Pac Man monitor.  When I got it, the screen had an all over red hue.  Turns out a wire had come loose from a plug.  It's the blue/black in the pic.  When I connect the blue/black to the empty pin there, the monitor looks beautiful.  But that OTHER wire that is there... hanging... concerns me.  I can't figure out where the heck it goes.  It doesn't seem to go to the edge connector, or the power supply.

Any ideas?  The monitor is a 19k4606

     **Jennifer ventures a guess**   Without seeing the big picture, My thoughts would be.... That went to that top 2 pin plug, and the wire there goes somewhere else, it appears in the pic it was grabbed by a pliers at one time and isn't in the main bundle.

I've since re-attached the blue/black, so that's good.  The other wire, I've been told, is basically a redundant synch.  I've clipped off the stripped part and let it hang.  Seems to work!

    You certainly got me with that one. Redundancy doesn't sound like something a midway dev would incorporate, but crazier things have happened I suppose , What gets me is it seems so fresh, like it was ripped from its pin, will have to check one out when I get some time. Jennifer would repin all those wires however they seem to have poor crimps.... Glad you got it to work though that's always fun .

It had some gnarly screen curl as well, but that adjusted out once I found that there is a second horiz adjustment.  I had to shave a bamboo skewer into a non-conductive screwdriver in order to reach the slot for the adjustment.  A little square can in the middle of the board.
