Title: Nanao Monitor shut off during play
Post by: EVAWINGZERO on January 06, 2013, 10:08:50 PM: While playing my Blast City today, my monitor decided to shut itself off. Over the past few weeks, I had noticed that when I turned the power on to the cab, sometimes the monitor wouldn't power up. After turning the cab off, then back on, it would kick in and turn on.

I had the cab running for a few hours during one of our weekly Street Fighter gatherings, and while some people were playing on it, it shut down.

The monitor will not turn on now.

Any idea on where to start troubleshooting?

I pulled the original Monitor chassis out of the cab and put this one into it.

If you have a chassis that will work with this, I'll gladly snag it from you! Thanks!

With this cab being down....I guess I should wire it properly..... Don't laugh at the ghetto 360 wiring :)

Post by: HammysHangout ( Hammy ) on January 07, 2013, 10:34:28 AM: yes, that is a 29E31 .. VGA Only.

I will have to drag the one i have out and fire it up, it may need some work, i am not sure.

Post by: EVAWINGZERO on January 07, 2013, 10:37:11 AM: Gotcha. I really appreciate it. Before we go that route, is there anything I should look for on this one?

I believe there is a small fuse on this chassis, right?

Post by: EVAWINGZERO on January 07, 2013, 10:19:41 PM: Looks like it may be my Power Supply. I plugged the monitor in directly to my Surge protector with a cable Mick gave me and it fired right up. I've had it on for an hour now with it plugged in and it's working fine.

I'll let you know if it keeps acting up. Thanks again for the info.
