WG 6100 problem
« on: November 24, 2007, 09:25:46 pm »
I have a WG 6100 vector monitor in my Star Wars cab. Lately it will run for 5 - 10 minutes then will shut down.

Any suggestions?

Yes, you can still hear the game playing.

No, I have not rebuilt anything. This was purchased as a working replacement monitor. That when I put it in was working. And had worked for some time. Now it just seems to shut down after a while.

old monitors tend to have cold solder joints .  inspect the board and resolder anything that looks questionable.
'lytic caps will suffer value changes and sometimes leak. replace as needed .
note: newer units may experince the same ... ;)
