The stock monitor in my cab (Hitachi GMK-29FS2) has an issue with the brightness where if the overall screen brightness goes above a certain level, it gets noticeably dimmer instantly. For example, it can be easily noticed on the Neo Geo splash screen or the opening Nazca screen of Neo Turf Masters. It happens on screens that are not all white like these, but those are just obvious examples. I've already installed a cap kit, so it's likely not a cap. Maybe the flyback or an IC? Anyone have a schematic?

Whatever came with the aw cabs back in the mid 2000's.wei-ya? A friend told me once that maybe it could be the power supply?

I'm leaning towards the flyback being at fault. No luck finding a replacement though. There's a ton of Hitachi flybacks out there, but none that match exactly.

Ive got a working all the way recapped gmk 29 chassis in my closet if you end up wanting to buy a replacement.
