Title: Monitor pin-cushion problem
Post by: AE35 on October 27, 2010, 08:14:25 am
Hey!

I have a problem with an arcade monitor, the sides are bowing inwards, looks like a pincushion problem.

..but arcade monitors don't seem to have corrections for this?

Well, I really don't know...actually I'm relaying this as a general question for a friend :-\

I just thought that a thing like pincushion might be able to point in a direction, like caps or other :dunno

Thanks,

Nicholas

make and model is very important regarding pincushion-for instance hantarex polo 2 have a common issue regarding this problem when one or both east/west correction diodes fail or go leaky

make/model needed to say exactly what part(s) involved .

however, likely a faulty diode /cap off the Hot
