Post by: EnlightX on August 23, 2004, 04:34:23 pm

Hi guys just come across this site and thought u might be able to help

Iv just got an arcade machine (Used of Ebay)

im gonna MAME it only problem is there seems to be no blue at all

weres theres white theres just Yellow ect

this is from the orignal Jamma Game and also when i set the video Test jumper on the monitor itself

Iv tried altering the blue knob on the back and it seems to do nothing at all red and green do.

Iv been readin about cap kits ect would this fix it ?

If so were can i get 1 in the UK with diagrams

Or is it jsut the case of the monitor gun is dead and i just need to get a new monitor?

I know this may be obvious, but check your video connections , and make sure the blue wire is correctly connected, Use a multimeter to trace back to the jamma harness.

If it's not that, there may be damage to the connector on the monitor. re-flowing the solder around the connector may help. I've had to do that with a wells garner 4600 before.

Determine if its the game board or monitor.

Turn up the SCREEN control (on the flyback transformer on the monitor under the Focus dial) and see if you get a white screen. If so, the monitor is perfectly fine, it's your game board that is defective or wiring between the gameboard and monitor. Adjust the blue gun DRIVE and CUTOFF controls and see if it makes any difference.

If it's your monitor it could be a number of items... Bad connector, bad transistor or IC in the circuit, disconnected cable between chassis and neck board, bad potentiometer controlling the blue gun, bad socket to the tube, broken pin on the tube, or dead gun in the tube, or broken solder joints on the monitor chassis.

Try swapping the Red (or Green) wire for blue in your wiring temporaly, and see if you get any blue.  If you now get blue, your wiring is bad.  If not, the problem is probably in the monitor.
