Locked Cabinet + More
ZeroQuest:
Is it possible to tell anything from this picture? I'd hate for the screen to be bad...

The video problem is shown in the picture above. My battery died, so this was the best of the 3 I took before it died on me. ;)

Hard to tell from the picture but I assume the those are light traces on the screen that have no sync. Looks like there is no signal getting to your monitor. The traces show that something is still working in the monitor. Check for loose connections and connectors when you get your cab open.

OK, got the machine open. REALLY clean inside. :) Checked all cable connections and the monitor is still having the same issues. Although I no longer see the diagonal lines and it now simply appears blue. I'm not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?
ZeroQuest:
When I turn off the machine the screen flashes and then goes out. (Just like a TV does) So it definitely appears to be working. I think you're right and that the monitor simply isn't getting a signal. I'm just not sure where to go from here. It's a standard Jamma cabinet, is there something common I should be checking for?

Yes.... Change out the cable from the board to the monitor..... It's more than likely a wire break and that is impossible to find just by looking.
Start by taking the cable out and buzzing through it with your meter to find out which line is down. I'd suspect that it's the sync signal, but it could be that it's the video signal if it's running in composite mode.
