I killed my arcade cabinet!!
desertcat:
thanks for the advise, i guess i'll just go get another tv... what a pain. Before I do that though I want to check the onboard fuse but dont know what to look for. I know that sounds stupid, but like I said I know nothing about tvs except to try and not electrocute myself.

Well, it sounds like the TV is already decased, right? If so, look back there and see if there is a fuse, and see if it is blown.
He might not want to buy an arcadevga too, which is why I said just save the tube for an 8-liners chassis later. Always save tubes, cause you might be able to buy the sweetest game with no monitor for dirt cheap.

I generally don't bother trying to repair TVs that won't turn on, although you might want to at least check and see if it has an onboard fuse, and check the condition of it.
Also, box up the tube and save it for later use with an 8-liners chassis.

I like being able to run windows on my tv (s-video) becasue sometimes I like playing windows based emulaters; gameboy advance and jnes. Also it freaks me out to spend to much time playing tubes and tv boards i don't wanna get shocked.

I got the big shock a couple weeks ago, it isn't as bad as advertised.
