EYGO Model AMN19V-RB repair/replace
« on: October 01, 2014, 06:36:09 pm »
I have an EYGO VGA Model AMN19V-RB; Chassis UCS19V; Compatable CRT: A48EYGTYPE V / A48AGY13X57

When I plug it in and switch the breaker on, it makes a click and all those lovely static sounds and short hum that you would expect from a CRT television/monitor turning on which future generations will never be able to appreciate.

In a dark room, when I first turn it on I get a flicker of light around the outside edge of the screen for maybe half a second.

There is also a glow at the back of the tube where the neckboard is.

But there ain't no picture when I connect it to my computer. (several computers were tried)

This is a VGA monitor, so there "shouldn't" be any issue with the video signal voltage, and I can't seem to see any damage to the caps. (Some photos attached.)

The monitor is fairly old as far as I can tell, but I'd really like to get my MAME back on it's feet, but I am on an extremely tight budget. I keep seeing replacements well into the 200-300 dollar range, but I just can't afford that.

So the question is twofold here. Are there any recommended cheap troubleshooting tests I should try before sending it to the great dumpster in the sky, and if not, what would be the most inexpensive way to replace it? Is mounting an old CRT monitor simple with the chassis I have or would that require some expensive harness adjusting?

Feel free to link to some other similar posts to help me get some more troubleshooting info for you, I'm really new to monitors.

Thanks guys n gals.  :cheers:
