Playchoice 10 monitor dim screen\ how to fix?

I have a playchoice 10 dual screen arcade cabinet both screens work but the one that displays the game is dim...particulary dark greens which look black, but all in all the whole screen just isnt bright. I have tried swapping the two screens only to have the dim one not even display anything when i moved it up top. Doesnt sound like a cap kit would fix this but then again i dont know...i need suggestions
thanks

And that includes the other brightness control on the monitor main board? You also turned up the "screen" control on the flyback?
If that's the case then install a capkit.

Im only familiar with one brightness control on my monitor, i believe its a sanyo 20ez. I adjusted the obvious one on the back of the monitor which the manual had as brightness...indeed it did control the brightness. I am unfamiliar with one on the board...the manual didnt list another brightness control....so where is this thing?
