not as simple as a fuse im afraid,the clicking you hear is the power supply of the monitor in trip mode,this is because the horizontal output transistor is blown(caused by having the wrong frequency signal fed to it)-you need to replace the transistor(its probably a BU508AF),this will bring your monitor back to life then you need to look at options e.g run from pc only using arcade vga card or a vga to cga converter-i can talk you through the repair and you don't have to remove the anode cap,its a very simple repair if you follow my instructions to the letter and are careful whilst removing the monitor chassis to a point where the transistor is accessible.
the polo range monitors come in 4 types-polo,polo2,polo3 and polostar only the polostar and polo2 svga run from standard vga inputs-if i had seen your label on your first post i would have told you not to feed it a vga signal,i know that don't make you feel better but you should be able to sort this out-also have a moan at the person you bought it from,there is no way that monitor should ever have been described as a vga arcade monitor

Ok, I am ready to repair this thing. I have already been able to unscrew the part of the monitor chassis to where I can work on it. Just tell me what to do...
