New here, I think this is the right place to post this.

I have a few game makers that the monitors went out. They are slant tops, I am having a problem finding 19 inch monitors I can only find 17 inch monitors.

Can someone steer me in the right direction to get replacements?

Thanks in advance.

Are the monitors bad? Or it just the chassis that needs to be re-capped?

Not sure I moved them and now they don't work

Maybe a connector just came loose during movement of the machine..
Start digging around and see if any boards, harness plugs are slightly unseated and reseat EVERYTHING!.
Remember, do all of this with the power off!
Once you've checked everything, turn on the power and let us know what happens.

Ya, If you just moved the machines and the monitors now don't power up, Look for a loose or un-seated connector in the monitor. Remove the monitor, look for loose coins and then reconnect the Molex connector back for the monitor.

I Tried that but it didn't work.  Thanks,

I ordered a 17 inch monitor from cerinox that worked perfect they  told me that is what i needed, but it was too small. They tell me they dont make a 19 inch monitor for a slant top.

19" gamemaker monitors (upright or slant) are very hard to come by and there does not appear to be anyone making a 19" LCD replacement.  If you can verify that it is the monitor and not something else by swapping around then usually the chassis electronics can be repaired and or the CRT can be restored.  If you have several monitors, you might try swapping chassis (electronics).  Gaming Solutions of Nevada (Las Vegas) has repaired many gamemaker monitors for me.  You might try calling Jim at 702-400-4147.  Tell him I sent you (Jim Bloom).  He also has about 3000 monitors in stock but last time I checked, no 19" for Gamemaker but you never know.
