arcade monitor issues. please help

[noname707]

I have two arcade machines that I am having the same problem with one is a primal rage it powers up fine I can hear the sound of the game I can coin up and start playing and everything the only problem which is a big one is there is no picture it is playing blind. when I open the back I do not see any neck glow at all and there is nothing on the screen either. I have the same exact problem with my Rush n attack machine sound and buttons and coin up work great but no picture or glow at all the only difference is with the primal rage I can hear the monitor power on. what could be the problem with these I appreciate any help you guys can give me

First thing first...did you check the fuses? Is it connected propeprly to the PCB? Getting power?

[noname707]

yes on all fronts. the fuses are fine the pcb is snuggly plugged in. I know the primal rage is getting power because I hear the monitor power on. not sure about the rush n attack cause it doesn't seems like the monitor comes on at all

Do you know the monitors model number for the monitor? I know for mine I found a helpfull troubleshooting guide online. It was a flowchart that takes you step by step through what's wrong or not to narrow the problem down. I've seen them (or similar things) for other monitors as well.

[noname707]

the primal rage monitor is a Phillips w22x a63afw22x
and the rush n attack is an RCA 19vltp22

I think those are just the tube. See if there's anything on the chassis. Wells Gardner, etc...

[noname707]

ok sorry about that the chassis on the primal rage says neotec nt-2515c and the rush n attack chassis says wells Gardner 19k4906

I don't have much time to try to find the flowcharts but I did find the manual for the Wells-Gardner (http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/ARCADE/S-Z/Wells-Gardner%2019k4901%2019k4906%2019k4951%2019k4956%20 (19in%20Color)%20%5BEnglish%5D.pdf) that might be of some use to you.

By the way, most people are probably going suggest that you do a cap kit. At the very least you should check for and touch up any cold colder joints.

[noname707]

thank you for the help. I am pretty good with the wiring of the cabs but I know nothing about monitor repair what is cold colder joints. I know how to de energize the monitors but that's it so far
