hey guys
i have a 6 slot cab like the ones at the bottom of here:
http://www.hardmvs.com/xml/pacific/pacCabs.htm
a few weeks ago weird shit started to happen
i would turn it on and i would hear a really loud crackling coming from inside the cabinet.. i didnt know wtf was going on
it sounded like the 6 slot mobo was on fire lol
so i turned it off and fucked around, turned it back on and it worked.
now this has been happenin every few times i turn it on..
now today it did it pretty bad and now it turns on e.g i get the credit 0's up , i get sound but no picture.
also i got my girlfriend to turn it on, while i watched at the back door to see if i could tell where the crackling was coming from, and it was coming from the little board under the monitor. it crackled like normal for 1 second then i smelt a burning smell and the cracking stopped. im like fuck.. i bet the monitor is blown
its a nanao monitor, but it is quite old.. takes a little while to warm up etc
its done pretty bad cracking like this before, and the screen wouldnt come on for a while, and then ive tried it again a day later and its worked, but i dont think ive ever smelt burning before!
i have attached pics of wher the cracking was comin from.
thanks in advance for any help and troubleshooting you can help me with
im a total noob when it comes to monitors etc
