Monitor Problems with my astro city...

I was sure I made this post already with Mr. Meg helping me....but I cant find it....so here goes again. (I'd rather have help with the monitor then finding the other post ;) )



I flip the power switch on my arcade cabinet and everything turns on in the cab but the monitor. Then I flip it off, count to 10-15, then flip it again and it turns on and works.





Do you have any idea why this happens?







some guy on BYAOC said "cap kit" and Mr. Meg said "flyback"....



...I honeslty have no clue on monitor issues.



Any help would be appreciated.

yes its true most picture problems are caused by bad caps but also the power supply circuit of the monitor has a multitude of smoothing caps as well-it does sound like a cap fault to me as it does not come on first time(i had the same fault on a hantarex polo2 just wednesday)


does this sound right?
