Did you have the cab off when the game was changed?

Check to see if a fuse is blown..Not sure if you have one up near the switch.

Do you hear a game playing but you get no picture?

Or do you just get nothing..?

Maybe the Jamma harness came loose..Check to see if it's on right..

Do you have sound ?

Are the crt heaters glowing in the neck of the picture tube ?

As Chris mentioned, you may be lucky and find a fuse blown.

If you have sound, and no picture, and there hasn't been any kind of jostleing that might have knocked something loose, your monitor might be kaput. Mine went night night in a similar way.

Just wondering: Does swtiching games while the cab is running (for example you play on slot 1 and change slot 4) can damage your MVS?

dry joints (loose solder connections) on the monitor or psu possibly.

I had a similar problem with my big red. I was getting alot of red on the monitor so I would hit the side and it would go back to normal. turns out it was the jamma connection to the monitor that was dirty. get some electronic cleaner and try cleaning your connections.
sounds like it's not too serious. good luck
