Monitor Repair

The "Neck Board" of the CRT is the small PCB attached to the long skinny tube on the back of the CRT. It controls the electron gun inside the CRT. All three of the colors(Red, Green, and Blue) are driven by small signals, through amplifiers, to the guns. When one driver goes bad, the Monitor loses one color. This can be verified by trying a new video cable, a new video source, or using the test splash screen on most new digital monitors.

If the transistor has an open, instead of a good Base-Emitter junction.

If the Main Board is out of the game, you might as well do a cap kit, and check for bad/loose connections while it is out.


The costs are relative to the size of the monitor, due to the values of the components required.

Sega Optical Guns

The new generation of Optical Guns have some improvements over the old style.

The have threads molded into the frame of the gun, always helpful when squeezing the two halves together.

The walls are thicker, they have small solenoids for recoil.

New optic PCB has innovated optic can holder that securely holds the optic in place and prevents breakage of optic legs due to shock

Innovative "inductorless" optic sensor board for increased reliability and accuracy

This is all well and good, but the kids these days are as rough as ever.

The Optical Gun I am working on now has been beaten up pretty bad.

Pics to follow.
