Title: Monitor color issue ?? PIC included
Post by: kjoel0123 on May 27, 2007, 09:26:49 pm
Wells Gardner monitor- 25k7191 model. Colors are messed up. I tried adjust all color pots to no avail. Any ideas? The superman pcb is 100%, tried it in my other cab. Degauss this? Is this a cap issue? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Looks like I'd at least START with a degaussing......

Which the monitor should have done automatically if you were to turn it off, let it cool for awhile, then turn it back on.
Unless of course if there something wrong with the degauss circuit, which more than likely would be the PTC or that the coil isn't plugged in, etc.

Just purchased a degaussing coil, should get it in a few days. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks for the tips

The board is OK so are the connections to the WG ok?   It looks like the pic has red and blue mixed up.  Some WGs are RGB from one end and others are BGR.

Just verified and the connections are correct, I even looked it up on the schematics to verify.

if you cannot get it going I may pull a working chassis off my k-7191 it is model P-538 I believe but will check for sure.

I think I talked to you already but it was to heavy to ship the complete monito but I was thinking of parting it anyhow so if all else fails let me know.

looks like the ptc component is shot,they are a few euro's to buy and a few minutes to fit
