Centipede monitor Issue
Question: We just got a Centipede machine and we almost got it working except for the monitor. The problem we have right now is it’s showing only half the screen with a bright line going down the center of the screen. Could it be the horizontal coil? Could it be a cap that went bad? Please help!!

Response from Jonathan: Sounds like you might be having some type of collapse issue with some voltage issues as well. It’s probably not the horizontal width coil but it could be depending on which direction the bright line is going (I’m assuming that the bright line is running from the top of your screen to the bottom at this point). We definitely recommend starting this repair off by Installing A Cap Kit but you’ll probably also need to check our the vertical IC section as well which we discuss in our post on Repairing Monitor Collapse Issues. Try some of the techniques that we discuss in these posts and let us know if you continue to have issues in the future.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
