Title: Another one with Ms Pacman issues
Post by: zoommsp on July 14, 2014, 01:02:48 pm
Hey guys

Picked up a ms pacman for a steal and got it home.

I am completely new with dedicated cabs, so be as dumbed down as possible with me here.

This is just hanging from my monitor, and I assume this to be very bad

The white pieces look like I can just slide them back together, but being a monitor and inexperienced, I'm not sure where all the "power" is stored in these and i know they stay "hot" for a very long time.

Any thoughts on what I've got going on here and potential starting point for repairs?

Yes that is the "neck" of the monitor and it should be plugged in. The best way to put it back in... i have no clue

Just plug it back in. It's keyed so it will only fit one way. Find the key first so you get it in the right direction on the first try and don't bend the pins.
