After successfully recapping another cabinet I decided to be proactive and recap the ms8-26a chassis in my candy 26. The kit I got was a little wonky, with a typo in the part reference and an apparent extra cap. I was cautious and thorough while replacing, making sure that the values matched with the board references (in some cases the voltage rating on the new parts exceeded the original parts but my understanding is that should be fine). When I first returned the board to the cabinet I had an apparent problem with the red gun.
This is the best I could get it looking, if I turned up the brightness the red would be scattered more than just horizontally.
I pulled the chassis back out, reflowed the solder on the neck board, reconnected everything to see if that helped and this time nothing. The monitor didn’t turn on at all, no sound like the tube is getting energized. I pulled the chassis again and reflowed the main chassis partially, focusing on the daughter boards, headers, flyback, and anything that looked suspicious when visually inspecting it. I hooked it back up to the same result, nothing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
