Hi Homer,

I don't have either, plain old digital multimeter is all that I have.

Even a scope would help. Damn hard to fix with a DMM unless you have a lot of experience. Still, look over the board also for burned parts. Something made that smell.







Hi again,

I have looked the whole board over and can't find anything burnt, I was

There are a hand full of solder joints in the high voltage section that look questionable too, will deal with that tomorrow as well.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the replies from everyone, the problem turned out to be bad solder joints in the high voltage section near the flyback. Not sure which one did it, my suspicion is that the horz. output transistor had very little solder on one of the pins and that was what was causing the low voltage which caused the screen the shrink.

After re-doing every bad joint I could find the monitor works fine now, I left it on in display mode (not sleep mode) for 18 hours it still works fine.


Thanks again.
