Jamma cab with jpac + arcade VGA
Just got the new mame cab set up and I was messing with the h-hold to try to get some more real estate on the monitor. I turned the h-hold knob a little far to the right. I got a scrambled picture, then a squeal, then the monitor died. It wont power up now.
What Did I do and how can I fix it?

Make/model of the monitor in question?
Turn the H hold back all the way and power it back up. I have a monitor that does the same thing.

Yeah, this morningI turned it back and it started right up.
I thought i toasted it.

Nope, you just triggered the protection circuit. Scary at first though...isn't it?

RCA had a chassis that the hfreq could be pulled off far enough to trigger shutdown.
the "fun " part was everything was menu driven. the set had to operate to adjust anything.
only way to restart under that condition , was to detune the h output ( add a cap to hot) then adjust h freq.
sometimse, had to do so with a severly corrupted eeprom..... (ctc177 )
