ooooooooooooook...

So an update. I capped the board and replaced the flyback... nothing. Then while talking to someone, they informed me (maybe reminded, I remember reading something about it but forgot) that there is a dip switch to downgrade to low res on the blitz board.

I turned my blitz and ultimate mk3 machines back to back, flipped the switch, hooked the blitz video connection to the mk3 connection input (diff color wires, but all connected right up) and powered both on... nothing on the monitor... sigh...

Thinking maybe the board is bad. I am going to check the voltages on the blitz board, but havent figured out how yet. Any suggestions from here?

Didnt realize how easy it was to find where to check on the PCB (its clearly labeled on the connector haha)... they are all good (5V and -5V is within .1, 12V is within .25)... what the hell is going on with this thing?!?!

Soooo... I actually went ahead and moved the jamma connection from my mk3 machine to the blitz board and wholly hell I got a picture on the standard res monitor... looked more than good enough for me (dont need no fancy med res haha).

Guess I will be looking for the cheapest machine I can find with a 25" monitor... or see what my mk machine goes for parted out and just scavenge from it.
