Big Red Monitor(Red Cap) Issue
Ever since I moved this cab from one apt to another removing the Monitor to do so I have had two issues..
One the mem card reader cables one creates lines on screen ,all my grounds are on but if I plug in the left mem card reader cable on the board I get interference on screen...I figure one of the wires within the wrap is touching another.if I unplug the mem card cable the interference goes away.
I don't play the cab as much as I used to but ever since the move I started to notice a blinking on screen of color loss-background variations..It seems I keep losing the RED..It comes and goes but is agravating..Cleaning games,boards,harness connector to board nothing changes it..
My monitor remore board pots are touchy but they make no change to the color variation.
So I went into the Hardware test..at first everything was ok,the background was Black then it blinked to this..(the reds gone)
Pay no attention to Flo on screen as that's the reflection of my TV..
So I adjusted the monitor)bright,contrast) on it's remote board and no change..If I leave the monitor in Hardware test the Black backgroun will show up,blink to it and you'll see the red box again..
If I leave the xab on for like an hour sometimes I don't get any loss of red..then sometimes I do..Last night I had the cab on for 2 hours and after he first 30 minutes of play or demo I never lost the Red..
Due to this I figure maybe the red cab has a Dry Solder joint?
What do you think?
What should I do..?
Do a cap kit?(never done but will attempt)
Re solder the red cap solder points?
Not sure where to get the caps so I have to go look to see what monitor is in it.
If I was to do a cap kit can someone lead me to what I should buy in a soldering iron,solder etc.. and what I'd need to do the job..I have the hands to do this kind of work justt need to know what 'd need to do the job..
Should I pull the monitor and remove the chassis or do a cap kit with the chassis still connected to the tube?
