Monitor on the blink

If you actually plan to open the thing up and play around with the electrical guts at least set up a video camera first so we can all watch your hair go up in a ball of flame on You Tube. If you get a big enough jolt maybe you will be able to go back to the future and get one of those super duper monitors they will have by then.

Good luck.

Wasn't Bozo's hair brown before he capered with his capacitors?

I managed to fix my vacuum cleaner a few weeks ago, but i draw the line at CRTs ... i'll try the t.v. repair shop first.

I thought by now everyone would've bookmarked this page the many times I've posted this link...

It's been a big help for me on my 1998 Princeton Graphics EO90 19" CRT still calibrating within sRGB gamut specs.
