I was connecting up a new board to my stand up machine, the board slipped and hit the circuit board connected to the screen tube. When I turned the machine on again it was just yellow and I could very vaguley make out the game running through the yellow. Anyone know what might be wrong???
Game:- Shinobi
Board:-System 16 A

You've blown the monitor chassis by the sound of it :/

Check for any burn marks or something like that, and visable damage or suchlike, but remember to discharge the monitor or have left it turned off for 24 hours + before you even think about looking at it...

Cheers,

You broke the monitor, probably by breaking the legs on some components. An all-yellow screen implies that red and green are full-on 100% of the time, with only blue working normally. You should consult a qualified TV/monitor tech, they can probably fix it pretty easily. It's not something you should mess with yourself without training/experience.
