Title: Hantarex Polo Arcade Monitor - problem...
Post by: scumball on August 29, 2006, 08:07:28 am
When I power up my Hantarex Polo (15Khz only) I get a faint dark blue vertical line about a 1/4 of the way in from the left (as I look at it).  It is about 4mm wide and slightly wavy.  I can crush it out of view but then the picture is too dark.  It does not really affect gameplay as it is un-noticeable when my Xbox boots up and a picture is displayed on the tube but it is there and bugging me.  Any ideas as to the cause?

its a cap fault,usually caused by c14 on the neck card and c177 on the main chassis BUT it could be any caps in the psu circuit as well so best to get a full cap kit-have some of your graphics got a bleeding effect?most likely text

No real bleeding effects no - the picture looks pretty good really - a bit of bowing out at the edges but generally it looks fine with signal - and just like this with no signal.  Any place recommended to do a cap kit in London?

how about hantarex at sydenham hill,maybe its not faulty though it could be the output of the xbox and you must be using some kind of svga to cga converter unless its a polo2 svga monitor you have

Polo using RGB output at 15Khz into JPAC...I'm not worried about it.  I played with the controls a bit more and have made it disappear.  I'm waiting on a AVGA and then I'll try it with a PC and see what that brings.
