Post by: mnegr454 on January 23, 2016, 07:14:56 pm
 I just got a new game  namco ms pac-man galaga. I'm getting no glow from the back of the monitor and its black in the front , also a hissing noise from there.  Does the board look compleate.

Monitor is making a hissing noise? Bad flyback? Is the game playing blind?

Is the game playing blind? I think so because when I turned it on I hear the music of the start up. Yes, it's making a hissing noise, I think its the monitor or in that area.  Are these the symtoms of a bad flyback? There is nothing on screen. Will do some research on flybacks.

Hey, got the game working but the picture is upside down.  I think some wires are not in the right place.  One set of wires near the fly back are red and blue. Then there is a set that are green and yellow on the other side. Any ideas which could be wrong?  Also the fire button wont work.  Replaced the flyback and two caps.

You need to flip the yoke wires to correct the image, this video by Buffett explains how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3ll7nlEEE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3ll7nlEEE)

as for the button not working, check the wires under the control panel, make sure they are both connected, if they are try swapping it with one of the player 2 start buttons and see if that works, if it does you may only need a new button, the fire button going bad seems common on the reunion cabinets
