Help! My Nanao is busted!

[TravistyOJ]

For some reason now my monitor only displays one line, I looked around and i guess this is a sympton of vertical deflection failure.  Is it more like that this is a loose connection somehwere or a short somehwere?  If I have to replace caps or anything like that, I think I am pretty much screwed, as I have no experience with monitor repair, and to be honest the very idea scares me. 

How much do you think it would cost to have a technician fix it, or is this something that I could fix? Thanks

Anyone in the atlanta area willing to make a deal on this or help me out?  I am looking to buy or trade this cabinet anyway, so if you are in the atlanta area, it is a blitz 99 2 player cab with a switchable res nanao 26" monitor.

For someone that has experience with electronics, it would be fairly easy.

If you've never touched a soldering iron, you can either practice until you can solder, or find a tech in your area.

It's *really* not that hard.  But you MUST practice first.

It is likely either a bad cap, or a cold/broken joint.  Randy Fromm doesn't have a flowchart for this particular monitor, so I can't tell you which cap(s) it would be.  But you could always just touch up the solder on all of them.

I mean I know how to solder and have worked with electronics before, just never monitors. 

I sent an email to jomac (from what I hear he is the Nanao expert), hopefullly I will hear back from him. 

But i mean is this most likely a loose connection, a short somewhere, a bad cap, or are all these problems equally probable?

If you want to drag it up to chattanooga, I'll be happy to work on it.

Later,
