I just got a Mortal Kombat II cabinet (converted to Police Trainer) and the monitor doesn't work at all. The guy I bought it from says that the entire game used to work, but then the monitor just didn't come on one day. Now, when the cabinet is turned on, it has sound and takes input, but no picture. The screen remains completely blank.
I have tried to figure out what this monitor is, but I still have no idea. I can't find any information on this it (other than the fact that other people with MKIIs were having problems identifying it too). A picture of the label on the tube is below.
The monitor doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. No crack like the flyback is powering up or crackles when it turns off. No glow at all, on the display or the neck.
I have checked and made sure that the voltage going into the monitor chassis is what it says it should be. I have also checked and made sure that the board is outputting a signal (though, I haven't checked v-sync and h-sync, since the LCD I was checking with wouldn't allow it).
The problem in
this thread seems an awful lot like what is going on with mine. Since I didn't own the cab when the monitor died though, I can't say whether it was cold when it died, or if the image changed size or color. The monitor pictured looks quite a bit like mine, except that the neckboards are ever so slightly different.
I haven't pulled anything out yet, since I really hate working with monitors (they're big, heavy, and can have high voltage sitting on them). If a better picture is really needed though, I'll pull it out.
As always, thanks for the help!
