I have a 27" EYGO monitor. I had to fix the horizontal pot and brightness pot a week+ ago. Got the new pots, replaced them... everything worked great...
Then I left my cabinet on over night a week later... and now no monitor... just a little quiet click noise... The screen doesn't get any static. Anyone have a clue where to look?
I'm starting to think I need a new monitor... but I'm out of cash at the moment :(

Eygo has been out of business about 7 years now. They were the USA distributor of Wei-ya monitors with an Eygo decal on them. Your monitor could be ten years old and as such, it probably needs a capkit and possibly a horizontal output transistor.

I didn't think a capkit would make it so no power was going to the screen and a clicky noise.
I happened to have a capkit I've been putting off installing. I guess I have a plan of attack.
I'm not sure where / what the horizontal output transistor is though. Are they easy to test? I don't have any schematics which sucks.
And yeah, I bought it 5 years ago, second hand. So I know its probably at its end. And normally it wouldn't be that big a deal, but where I work is talking outsourcing, so I'm not supposed to be spending money. Just sucks because I've been playing a lot since I got the monitor fixed again and a new computer inside... I was just getting the cab bug and blam... :'(
And thanks again.
