Title: Ultracade Samsung Monitor
Post by: GeorgeL on July 23, 2015, 10:39:17 am

Hi, I will include the monitor part number if necessary when I get home from work. Was hoping to see if someone may know of a quick fix first.

I have an ultracade machine I picked up cheap, I converted to a mame machine with a PC. Was working fine until i booted up one day and the monitor began clicking without any display. If I unplug the monitor from the PC I get the same issue. Seems like its in protect mode or something. I was screwing around with the resolution on the PC before this happened so I am thinking it stuck out of range or something. I tried unplugging it from the power strip and running directly to an extension cord and still same issue. I checked the ceramic fuse and its good.

Anything obvious I can look for or try?

thanks for any assistance.

George

Clicking usually means something mechanical is toast. Could be a bad solder shorting something, caps or the flyback is bad. You'll likely need to get it repaired by a professional, I'd recommend http://www.arcadecup.com/ (http://www.arcadecup.com/). You could call Chad at Arcadecup and describe the issue and see what he says.

Good luck.
