Title: WG 6100 problem
Post by: fa001 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?

is the game still playing blind while the monitor is down? 


has it been rebuilt? Did you do the power cage? how long ago?

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 ... ;)
