Think I made a boo-boo
« on: January 17, 2010, 10:17:17 pm »
So I replaced my monitor, it works great, but the two mains input wires in the cabinet dont have a connector on them to connect to the input on the monitor(they are just exposed wire)

Right, so as a quick fix, I put the wires in the respective slots on the monitor chassis to hold them in so I could temporarily play the game.  Well, while adjusting the monitor, the wires came loose and touched each other. There was a small spark from where the exposed wires touched and now nothing works.

The moniotr, jamma, speakers, nothing powers up. I am no electronics expert, can someone please tell me what I did?! ...and possibly how to fix it!

check the breaker in the house? its gotta be a breaker or a fuse unless you flat out killed everything.

Look for the fuse in an inline fuse holder on the AC wiring or maybe a block fuse holder.
