Cap kit installed, but machine still has wavy lines..

[Wyluli]

Well I have the cap kit installed, put everything back together nice and

[menace]

the large white switch is a safety disconnect--no power unless the back door is on.  If that doesn't fix it, check your fuses and connections--if you did a capkit, you unhooked some stuff, just make sure there are no extra wires--unlike your DIY bbq assembly, extra parts are not a good thing when putting your machine back together 

[Wyluli]

The large white switch is screwed into the inside of the back of the cabinet, and not on the door at all.  I don't understand how it is supposed to do anything that way.  Anyway, I pushed the button and there was this loud buzzing noise and then silence.  I put the door back on (for kicks) and still no power.
Everything is plugged back in the way it was.  The monitor is a WGK7000.  Everything looks good to me.
Where would I find fuses?  I dont' see any near the monitor.  Are there any down by the power supply itself?
arg, if I don't get this working I'll never hear the end of it.

The large white switch is called an interlock switch.  It's a safety switch that kills the power to the cabinet if you remove the back panel.  You can pull it out to get power going to the cab.

Did you make sure to hook the power back up to the monitor?

For fuses? find the cord that brings mains power into the cab, and start following the wires.  If there are fuses in the cab, you'll find them that way.

if you are refering to this, its called the interlock switch. If you have the back door on, it pushes the white button in making the circuit complete. if you have the back door off, pull the white button to make the circuit complete.

[Wyluli]

Ok, there is another interlock switch on the bottom of the cab which trips if you open the drawer.
The switch by the back door apparently was not working before or was reversed or something, because it is not even facing the door, it faces upwards and was never pushed in.

you flipped the yoke horizontally--there should be a plug just in front of that aluminum heatsink that holds the flyback--on it you should see a red, blue, green and yellow wire going into a molex plug--sounds like your red and blues are reversed.

Do I have to discharge the monitor again before switching that back around?

Thanks a bunch.

No.

I would to be on the safe side only becasue that plug is a real bugger to get at typically so you'll have to manhandle the board a bit.

[Wyluli]

Sorry to be a pain.  I just pulled the "blue, yellow, green, red" wires off and realized I put them on that way because they are marked on the board that way.  So, should I leave the green and yellow alone and turn the blue and red around, even though it would be opposite what is marked on the board? 
If I do this, I'm not going to hurt anything right?

Thanks again.  Sorry to be a pain.

The only time you want to do that if when you're going to unhook the anode from the tube.  Otherwise you should leave it alone.

peale, while normally i agree, if you have ever wrestled with a k700 to get that damn molex out of there you'll see my point you have to get your hands all over that thing yanking and pulling--i unhook it so its one less thing to worry about.

to answer wyluli--using your picture above the red wire should be to the far right

That is the way I have it hooked up.

[menace]

somehow i knew you were going to say that  --well reverse the red and blue and see if that does it--you won't hurt anything so no worries.

[Wyluli]

Ok, machine up and running again.
Any monitor guru's have any ideas on what I should try next to fix the monitor waviness.  The screen just kinda flows vertically and then horizontally and then vertically etc...  Drives you nuts after awhile.

[menace]

Sounds like "the HULA" (randy fromm's words not mine) maybe a flaky filter capacitor--the large black one in the upper right.  You should get your hands on his flow chart and follow it through.

[Wyluli]

Thanks for the tip.  This would be the website that is currently down  .  Ug
