CENTIPEDE cabaret Restoration - works again
RayB:
After a trip to the basement, the monitor decided to work again. I don't know enough about monitors to figure out what could be affecting power to it before and after being moved. Quite strange.
Replaced the off-white ball with a nice snow-white one. What a difference that makes!
Next up, attempting to converge the colors! (Should I do it??)
SirPeale:
If it works after a move, something is loose: cold solder joint, card not plugged in tightly, connector askew, etc.
Kevin Mullins:
One thing that gets overlooked a lot is the monitors AC connector pins. I've seen many a flaky on/off monitors because the pins don't have enough tension when connected.
Turn the machine on, if the monitor does not come on....push and pull on that connector a bit and see if the monitor fires up. (or vice versa, it dies)
Level42:
OK.....so what's the cat's high score?
spriggy:
:afro: Wow... been a few years since I was regular on the forum. Revitalised my dead arcade batteries after about 3 years.. and back headlong into my old projects with juvenile vigor >:D
So... what a nice way to return to the forums, to see this old lady looking so lovely (that sounded a bit poofy :-\)
Looks gr8 RayB.. well done.
