Monitor's picture is angled
« on: November 13, 2004, 08:18:23 am »
Well this is an odd problem :/ I set up the monitor on the floor to test it and got it all set up and it worked like a charm. Now after I have put the monitor in the cab the picture is at a 15ish degree angle from the top and bottom of the tube...did I shift the neckboard or something?

Check out Bob Roberts' tech pages www.dameon.net/BBBB/ and click on "Slanted Monitor".

Hmm, my picture is perfect but is completly angled, not a distorted angle, but the entired image is...I tried adjusting the Horizontal Hold but that didn't do much...anything else it could be?

It's possible the yoke could have come loose and rotated slightly.

So how would I repair it, can I rotate it with the monitor on to see if that is the problem?

While wearing heavy leather gloves, loosen the yoke clamp screw and rotate the yoke slightly while the monitor is on. WARNING: your hands will be near the high voltage area. Don't kill yourself.  :o
