WG monitor...blurry then dead
« on: September 29, 2009, 01:28:44 pm »
I had a 17 inch WG monitor that was blurry.  Got it for a song and now it's not even coming up.  I can hear it degausing.  Is there a way to diagnose this?  I'd like to at least salvage the chassis.

You'll have to narrow down the model..... I don't even know of a 17" Wells Gardner.
Look for a "Pxxx" number on the main chassis if you can't find a label that says something like "19K7xxx".
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

based upon the symptom, may have a flyback issue that may have shorted the h out xistor/pwr sup.

of course won't know until some things are checked ...   ;)
