Title: Help! New WG9800 not getting any picture
Post by: solid12345 on June 27, 2009, 03:12:55 pm
Had it for only a few weeks and used it a few times. I was playing around with the OSD settings modifying the trapezoid and other h/v settings, and suddenly the picture warped  in on itself and went to black. Now everytime I plug it back in, nothing comes on, usually a white screen with "no video signal" pops on until I turn on my PC but nothing. However the machine is getting power, its got the greenlight in the back, the vacuum tube glows orange but just no picture, not even the usual white screen with "no video signal detected"

My friend's dad happened to be working on an outlet at the same time across the room but he said that wall shouldn't be on the same line, i'm hoping I didn't blow it.

The worst part though is this monitor is a replacement for the 1st one I got in that was busted, I never expected using a arcade monitor to be such a pain in the ass experience, honestly don't know if I have it in me to go through this all over again.

You might try finding the RECALL option and resetting it back to factory.
Of course you'll have to try and do it "blind".
Don't know how that may work out for ya.

All I found was the D9400 manual, but maybe the OSD stuff works the same I'm sure.

Actually tried that, tried to blindly get to the recall function, but you would think i'd still get the typical white screen, plus I didn't radically alter the settings just a few hairlines.

HIGH voltage

The electric static sounding stuff you hear when you first turn the monitor on.
Literally when you can hear it turn on.
