My monitor just died :(
Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:35 pm
Any suggestions on what i should do?
I just bought the machine (SWE1) about 2 months ago and this weekend i was gently pulling up (from under the play field) the little electronic board connected to the monitor that has the little dials for V-hold/color/contrast/etc and accidentally the piece touched the top of the monitor that also has another electronic board mounted just above the glow-tube on the monitor. There was a tiny spark and the monitor went dark.
The rest of the machine including the play field, sounds, prism/computer still work great except now i can't see the video interaction.
Is this something that can be repaired?
OR does anyone make a drop in LCD i can just put in and connect to the original pinball 2000 computer or am I SOL.
I hope to one day upgrade to the NuCore computer but have to get through Xmas first.
My wife and i LOVE this game and want it to work next weekend when we have family in for the holidays.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
