Backlight Failed, Wholehog 2

I have fitted two new Backlight Tubes to the touchscreens on our Wholehog 2 as one of the screens was dark. After fitting the new tubes the same screen is still dark (backlight tube not working). Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the power supply for the tubes? Or does anyone know of a common component that fails and stops the tubes from working?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :1zhelp:

Can't help you on the circuit, but I have Hog II touchscreen/monitor OEM assemblies with the touchscreen portion not working. I could probably sell you those fairly cheap if you want to rob parts or try to do a touch membrane transplant (I don't think you can do that though).

Thanks Andrew, but i seem to think the problem lies in the power supply for the backlight tubes which is soldered direct to the front panel PCB.
If i can't get a cicuit diagram i'll send it away to be repaired.
Thanks for the offer though.
Cheers,

Hello, unless you have one of the earliest Hpg 2 consoles, there are little transformers on the PCB to the upper right corner of each display. I believe these are T1 and T2. These are the backlight transformers. We have these available at High End.

The older Hog 2 consoles have a single backlight transformer for both displays but we do not have these any longer. These are a black box on the bottom side of the front panel PCB.
