alright so i finished up most of the paint work on my okbaby and started putting it together.

i had removed the annode and everything from the monitor so i could move the monitor more easily (the chassis isnt on the monitor's frame.)

now, i wire up the monitor to test it out, make sure it works. i use my cps2 and alpha 2 as my test simply because its the cheapest pcb i own. (and yet its one of my favorite games, go figure)

i get a picture! but its scrolling and doing everything funky imagineable. i try adjusting the pots on the monitor to no avail, only to have the fuse blow on the monitor, so i shut everything off.

i unplug the monitor and flip on alpha 2 just to make sure it works, and sure enough i dont hear anything. so i wire my good monitor back up and i just get a blank white screen. my other cps2 games work though.

was it just a well timed suicide or something else? last time something like this happened it killed my mvs mobo. but my cps2 mobo works fine, its just the one game.

and what the fucks up with the monitor in my ok baby.
