WG 19K7203 no blue
« on: March 26, 2010, 10:51:55 am »
I have a WG 19K7203 monitor.  Works great except suddenly lost all the blue. Blue pots on neck board look good. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice.....there is!!

Check the neckboard for bad solder joints.
Check the video input header pins for bad solder joints.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

sometimes the video amplifier goes south and acts like it's a dead transistor.

try swapping the color transistors around and see if the dead color moves to another color, if it does, it's a transistor, if it doesn't i'd suspect the video amp.

Problem solved!  Blue transistor (Q805) on neck board was loose.  Resoldered and all is good again. Thanks so much (again) for all your help guys (or gals).  I'm sure I'll have another question for you soon.  :applaud:
