Re: can this monitor be repaired?



A common cause are high ESR caps, and also the possibility of a cold solder
connection. Bad caps are the most common cause of your description.

If you can have an ESR meter to check the caps, this is the best approach.
If you can fix this monitor for a few dollars worth of parts, it would be
worth it. Sending the monitor out for service would not be economically
feasible for this type of monitor, because of the labour costs.

it is a 19 inch KDS monitor.

the sides of the screen shrink about an inch, it stays like that a few
minutes, and goes back to normal.

any idea if this just needs horizantal hold adjustment , or some new
capacitors perhaps? is it worth it to try to fix it?
