If dude is telling the truth... odds are it's cracked solder joints... since there is nothing physically damaged on this board. If I touch them up, though, I have altered the board, and as a seller I sure wouldn't want an unknown buyer taking an iron to a board while pondering a refund.
Kevin Mullins:
Well, you seem to have gotten a kinder response than most give these days.
There's not much for solder joints to just be a common cracked joint on those though.
I didn't read back through the thread, but is this problem on a known working monitor ?
What was the other boardset doing? (the one in the shop)
My AD is not accessible at the moment, but I do have a boardset handy to look at if you question anything you see on that one.
(a spare working boardset no less) ;D
ChadTower:
Thanks for the offer... may be moot for a bit now. I popped a g05 rebuild kit into the monitor last night to be sure. Went well, fired it up... BIZZAP. Forgot to reattach the anode cap. Shorted to the frame.
:banghead:
After that no activity at all, spot killer on, just a dull glow in the tube when I turn the brightness up.
I did find one dead fb fuse. Hopefully that's it and I didn't just kill every component connected to the frame.
Kevin Mullins:
Ouch.... best to go back through and check all the transistors again now.
(if the new fuse blows immediately)
ChadTower:
Yeah. That and the HV diode that causes you to need the resistor to discharge. I assume arcing the anode to the frame is pretty much the same except this time you put amps behind it.
