Playing blind
Question from Chris: Hey Guys!
First off I want to say thanks for the great utube vids. Keep up the great work!! Here is my problem I just purchased a williams High Impact game I played it at the guys house for about a half hour with no problems at all, I bought it and put it in my house and turned it on, I left it on for about an hour or so and all of a sudden I heard a big POP! Well to my dismay came back in the room and I had no picture. Not sure what it is however I have been researching it on your utube vids and I am getting power from the power supply I have sound but no picture. One of your vids had Playing Blind. On it you said you replaced the hot, however didnt show where it was as you can tell I am a little new on the monitor thing but have extensive computer background. Do you have any pics of where the hot is? And or from how I described the issue do you have any suggestions?
Thanks again so much,
Chris

Response from Jonathan: Chris,
Thank you for your questions. The reason we do not show these steps in our Troubleshooting Games That Are Playing Blind video is because we have an extended cut of the video that will be available only on our upcoming Volume 4 DVD that will show these steps in detail. In the meantime, we do have two videos on our Volume 2 DVD that show how to replace a HOT and a flyback. You can purchase our Volume 2 DVD right now from our online store.
With that said, the HOT can be in different places on different monitors. For example, here is a picture of someone checking the HOT on their Electrohome G07 monitor: https://media.photobucket.com/image/recent/dokert/Monitor%2520ID/100_5045.jpg. Now, here’s a picture of a HOT separated from the heat sink on a Wells Gardner K7000 series monitor: http://home.comcast.net/~mtpacifico/_KLOV/K7000/HOT.jpg. With that said, the first step in repairing a monitor is to identify what monitor brand/model you have. A good way to do this is to visit Bob Roberts What’s My Monitor page and compare the photos to your monitor chassis. Once you know this, you should be able to identify and order the parts that you need.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
