Re: Neotec NT-2700



Crap, you're right. It is uninsulated... could that have been the issue?? Okay.. need to seek out the insulated HOT right away. I'll still do some inspections on the board to make sure the arcing didn't fry anything.

And recommendations on where to source an insulated 2SC4542? Thanks a ton for pointing that out....

Re: Neotec NT-2700



Perfect, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will check those circuits.

Something else interesting, I noticed the HOT was arcing with the screw that mounts it in place. I have the mica pad and paste in place which I find odd. I may order a new insulator, plastic washer, paste, and screw to be proactive....

I have a Neotec NT-2700 that is continually blowing it’s HOT. Fortunately, I have some background info that I hope will allow someone to point me in the right direction.

CRT was plugged into a MAMe cab through a JPAC with 15khz dip switch set. I believe this was done on a retro-pi, which is something I never messed with. He proceeded to book up a rom image of mortal kombat. He then proceeded to attempt to change the resolution of the game.

I guess the image got really bad or distorted, made a sort of whining noise before shutting off. I bought the monitor from him...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, new user here and quite glad I found this forum. I have many years of experience in the field of I.T. I do dabble with circuits, PCB's, and custom gadgets.

My soldering skills are great, but my ability to read, understand, and trace underlying issues in circuit boards are mediocre at best. Definitely looking to pick the brains of experiences electronic engineers to assist me with some issues I have been happening.

Thanks for the awesome forum.
