Star Wars/Wells Gardner 6100 Problem

Hello all,

I thought I would try the list to see if anyone has any suggestions for me.

I have a Star Wars with Clays ESB switchable kit installed. Superbowl
evening, my brother-in-law was playing it and he switched from Star Wars to
ESB. The sounds came up, but the video did not, so he switched it back to
Star Wars and played some more. (he was doing this without turning the game
off, I could have killed him)

A couple games later, he switched it back to ESB, and it still did not
display video, so he switched back to Star Wars, and now that was not
displaying video either.

Here are the symptons:

1. The game coins up, sound and all on both games with no video.
2. The monitor neck is glowing faintly, so at least the monitor is getting
power.
3. The four fuses on the monitor board are intact, as well as all the main
fuses.
4. There is no "vector noise" that you would normally hear from the monitor.
5. I checked all the connectors for anything obvious.
6. I checked all the boards for any loose chips, or anything blown (nothing
I could see)

Any tips or suggestions with where to go from here?

Thanks much for any help.
