goldstar monitor problems
« on: July 17, 2007, 11:52:06 pm »
This monitor is out of a Arachnid Galaxy dartboard.  I have had this problem in the past and sent it out and had it fixed.  It was just some bad caps and it cost me a bunch.  The monitor screen just goes black.  I have two more that are doing the same thing so I figure it must be common.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?(which caps to change)  Does anyone know of a good place to send monitors for repair that don't rape you?

www.arachnidinc.com -> tech support -> archives -> TECH TIPS.

One of those old back issues of the tech tips has a page with monitor troubles and it mentions what caps are the problems on each brand they used.

"Wishbringer" and "Texas Hot Shot" on the KLOV forums are good people to send your monitors to for repair.
