Help with Potential Monitor Issue for Golden Tee 97
« on: July 30, 2009, 11:47:58 pm »
Hey all I am new to this stuff. I own a golden tee 97 and I had to move it from new york to maryland. The trip may have been rough on it. So the colors are way off. There is way too much red and the picture is streaky/blurry. I have adjusted the colors and they are as good as i can get them. I have attached a photo album of what I am talking about(I don't know if the wire pics will be of any help). Please let me know if you have any suggestions as to how to fix this frustrating problem. Thanks.

Did you adjust anything on the remote board ?
Brightness, Contrast, etc ?

How's about the SCREEN pot on the flyback ?

(which doesn't look right for some reason in your pics)

Through this, I was able to make a better, sharper image but the presence of red is still overwhelming.

Make sure the connector on the remote board is good and secure.
(do this with the monitor OFF)

Turn the brightness and contrast on the remote board all the way down.

Now with the video input unplugged from the chassis...... ie no picture.

Adjust the SCREEN up until the screen is bright, then turn it down until it just goes to a nice black.
Plug the video input back in.
Adjust the brightness and contrast up a little at a time as needed.

Do any of those potentiometers NOT do anything ?

Do you happen to have a closer pic of your flyback ?
It may just be the way I see it in your other pics, but the SCREEN pot on the flyback doesn't look right /broke. (I'm just curious)

You may also try turning the red drive and cutoff down on the neckboard.
I know you mentioned adjusting colors already, but sometimes you have to backtrack and readjust things as you go.

Update:

After messing around with the cutoff and what nots i have gotten the picture to a very pleasing picture, so thanks for that. Oh and also yeah my flyback.... the SCREEN knob is all but gone aka broken but still functional. So there you go. Thanks for the help.
