arcade wiring question (jpac) please help...

<< < (4/8) > >>

mgb:
It looks like those red wires that you list as going around the monitor, actually terminates at the bolt on the monitors frame. There is no photo of where the other end of that cable is but I assume it should be going to ground.

Are you positive that the motherboard blew. because you installed soft 15khz in order to run this pc on an arcade monitor and then hooked back up an LCD. maybe the lcd just won't show anything because of the 15khz signal.

i cant see the other end of it from what i checked. the monitor works fine , there aint not problem with it whatsoever. the gameboard plays fine, everything works 100% as should.
only problem is grounding issue, not cause there is a problem with gameplay or anything like that with the original board, its all 100%. the problem is since the thing is not grounded i possibly fried my motherboard, hence my question about the monitor all the time since thats the only piece of the puzzle thats plugged in other than my computer...
this http://i54.tinypic.com/2qs9e6o.jpg picture u point to if u look up just a little bit from the right hand side u can see the first bolt of the monitor.
if u look at this picture http://i53.tinypic.com/2mo5vuo.jpg u can see the monitor, i just took 2 pictures since the one here u cant see the end of it.

the wire infact from what i have checked does not go anywhere to a ground or anything like that... ill double check it to make sure.
but those 2 wires with the plug on it, should i remove the plug and connect a ground to that?

mgb:
Theres no way to see in that pic that the wire goes to the frame bolt but I can see it in one of the other pics. That there is your monitor frame ground, but you need to verify if it goes to ground (ac earth ground) verify it visually and with a meter.
 That is the only ground that arcade monitors get.
