One more rookie question how do I test the fuse what color tester on what end.
Fuses have no polarity, so it doesn't matter what wire is on what end.

Got my working DK home well atleast when I left. Now I get this purple screen. I check all connection. My other guess is try a new wire harness or pull and re seat all roms. Any help

man you just have no luck with these things.  Anyways, reseat the monitor cable on the PCB.  If the sound works, that is a good sign.  It means that its most likely a unplugged connector.  Re seating the eproms may help, but do it carefully.  The pins are easily damaged and CAN break off.  Use this video to help you do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkSCh53fO6Y .  Good luck and keep me posted.

EDIT: Also, make sure all of the connections of the monitor itself are plugged in.  If one of the plugs going to the invertor board are unplugged, the screen will not work.  Be careful when poking around back there, and make sure the power is turned off and unplugged on the game.

Checked all connectors I think boards dead from bouncing around doesn't even play dead gonna hook Jr. Up tomorrow and see what I get I figure I'll be able to trouble shoot from all the parts between the two cans my guess is I need monitor work like fly back or HOT. As for DK I'm guess board is totally dead. It had audio issues and the trip killed that bitch. So I'll send it off if Jr. works I'll have them back and bullet proofed this fall. Until then it's MAME

yeah at this point I would try the JR board.  Also reseat the eproms for good measure.  It does fix stuff sometimes.

Cool! So that means both of your PCBs work, which is great!  You can fix the other monitor at some point by simply getting a new chassis for it.  Weird though.  How did the game work before you left without the rgb board?

ah okay.  When you say RGB board, you mean this: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7410/1001820.png board right?  That is actually called the inverter board, and that is the name it is generally called.  If that is the board you removed, you dont actually need it.  In older nintendo games, the signal is already inverted, so a board that does the inverting isnt even necessary.  To bypass this board completely, follow the attached diagram.  This makes it so the chassis is getting direct video from the game board since the inverter board isn't necessary in this case.  Of course, your chassis still has problems even after fixing this.  The solution to this problem is to either fix it yourself, or buy a whole new chassis.  I would try replacing the fuses that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, if you haven't already done so.  After doing that, if it still doesn't work, you are probably SOL.  It's just way too much work to do on your own, if you aren't an electrical engineer.  At that point, I would either send it to somebody on KLOV to be repaired, or just buy a whole new chassis.  That is all of the outcomes I can think of to get your game working again.  Good luck and keep me posted.

hey looking good.  By the way, was it very hard to remove the monitor from your DK cab?  I'm about to cap my sanyo monitor and I've never removed one from a nintendo game.

Yeah I understand that its quite difficult to get the chassis board out of its harness.  Have you done a cap kit on the EZ20 by any chance?  Any tips?  I'm good with electronics, so i'm not really worried about the cap kit itself, i was just wondering if you have any advice.

Pulling it is easy. I'm lost after that I send all my work out. Now So I'm trying to dial I think it's too dark as the golds are really deep golds.

2. The blues all have red shadows on the bottom right around the lettering and blue snap jaws. 3. It's seems a little blurry around edges of characters fast moving that is. And lastly the audio. Which was fine before with old monitor no there's a super faint jumping noise when your not jumping it's like a Eco. Very strange. I do have the volume up high. (Which I want to lower). Any help would be amazing . I'm stumped on adjustments and at this point everything I do starts to look the same. I just want the sharpness fixed and the red hues gone and I can live with minor audio annoyingness
