This is a VGA res monitor and not a standard res, not sure if that matters, but throught I would mention it.
I am pretty sure I toasted something. I have had this monitor for a few years. I just recently tried to use it in a cabinet that takes a monitor without a frame. Where you just bolt the tube in, and the monitor boards go on the side of the cab.
I THOUGHT I still had all the grounds connected, so that it would work this way.
It would come up after tossing some tiny sparks around on the power board (this is a non-isolation transformer monitor, so it has a power board).
But it never came up right. It came up super bright, and would not adjust correctly at all. Kind of like it has a real bright yellow superimposed over everything else. That was with the "screen" control on the flyback all the way down. Turning it up a bit made it so yellow that you couldn't see anything else at all. I then took it out of the frameless application, and put it back in it's frame, but the problem persisted.
So what did I mess up? I am not scared of fixing monitors, I am just not sure what I need to be fixing? Or did I ruin the tube or something?
