Title: WG K7000 Monitor goes dim
Post by: henryc on October 19, 2010, 06:23:27 pm: This is weird but my 25" K7000 monitor works fine for a few hours then goes dim afterwards, I tried adjusting my screen on the flyback but after a few hours the same problem would reoccur. Anyone knows what this problem is?

Wonder if your Brightness (Black Level) pot (on remote board likely) is dirty? A lot of people on here recommend swiping the troublesome pot all the way left and then right several times in case dust or crud is causing poor contact.

Have you capped the chassis before?

Also, you can visually inspect the bottom of the monitor chassis and look for bad (cold) solder joints and maybe try reflowing any you think look suspicious and also the joints under the flyback transformer.

dirty crt pins can also be a problem...

also check r93/94/95
