Monitor Trouble (Sega astro City)

[rodwod]

Hi
I hope everyone is off to a good start this year.

But i have a monitor problem on my sega astro city cab.

monitor model number M68JUA068X 29''

The problem..
everything powers up on the cab but the Monitor .
(game sound/power to the game pcb/marquee light/all work)

The Monitor seems dead..
i see no glow i can feel no heat and i can not hear any TV like sounds
from the back of the Monitor after removing the panel plate on the cab.

I only hear a clicking sound from the back of the Monitor when i turn the power off.
It sounds like its from the circuit board but i'm not sure.

i have some links to pics of the Monitor and i have a sound clip
if anyone requires it.

Please help
where do i start and can i fix this myself?

so it's a nanao ms9-29su,do you hear anything from the chassis-maybe a split second ht start sound,then a shutdown?

hi
I think its a nanao but i'm not 100% .
The only sound that i can hear is a clicking sound when i turn the psu off but only if i turn it off within 10 seconds (if that makes any sense at all)

i can send you a mp3 of the sound if that helps.


Just to confirm what part is the chassis

i know it's a nanao ms9-29,i work on many of these chassis
the chassis is the term used for the electronic pcb that runs the tube

i fix these if this repair is too daunting for you

[rodwod]

I'm no expert but i will try to repair this with your help i can confirm that the clicking sound is coming from the chassis.

[grantspain]

the click is the chassis starting up and shutting down,just because a sound comes from a particular component does not mean that component is faulty
your fault could be anything on that chassis,it could related to capacitors,bad solder joints or possible ic failure

[rodwod]

I see what should i do next ? cos its sounds like a lot of trouble for me to fix and its too big to send for repair unless its within the u.k

[grantspain]

your next step is to remove the chassis from the tube and check for bad solder joints and look for obvious cap leakage,any leakage will also smell-slightly fishy smell

if you need to send for repair then i only need the chassis,not the tube

[rodwod]

Ok thanks for the help
I will check and remove the chassis and if i can not spot any problems i can send it to you for repair
my brother is an electrician so he can help me look for problems on the chassis.

cheers
