my moniter doesnt show a picture but i hear a humming sound which may mean the moniter is on or not im not sure moreover the sound can only be heard very lightly when your ear is pressed up by the speaker and thats at full volume so it seems as though its not being amplified i was fixing some stuff in the cab and cleaning it up and bam its not working and i dont know what to do i live in portland oregon and would appreciate any advice and if any one is in the area i would pay them to have a look at the machine as well please reply thx

Converted to what?..1.2,4,6 slot..Neo Geo MVS.

Do you have any technical skills?

Do you have a Camera.?Can you take pics if needed..

Do you have a voltage/Digi meter..?

What Size Monitor..?

Check the Fuse/Fuses..

Make sure the Jamma Harness is on the board right..And a clean connection..

I figure since you basically are getting nothing It's the Power Supply..

Search for members in your area here for repair help..

Do you hear any games sounds through the speakers..

I think your Power supply went bad IMO..

What type is it..?

Installation would be a matching up of the wires..on the power supply itself..
NOTE:
I'm not sure what 5 volt + setting new power supplies are set at when purchased.
So a new Power Supply voltage may still need to be adjusted/set with a volt meter.

You'd have to match it up..

Most likely if you take a pic or read the specs on the Power supply it can be matched up..

I can't say for sure it's the Power Supply..
You'd have to take some voltage reading with a Volt/Digital Meter..
