You need the Sony DAS, digital alignment software, and interface to to
any kind of screen/G2 adjustment on that monitor. In fact you need the
software and interface to actually troubleshoot the real failure and
complete any repair.

It could be a corrupted eeprom, bad process ic (common), or a simply
weak picture tube. The process ic is suppose to properly compensate
for the weak picture tube and fine adjust the screen and bias controls
to keep a good picture, but it doesn't work that way.

There has been a hack to compensate for the real problem as it is not
cost effective to buy the DAS kit for just one monitor repair. Check
the google archive and recent posting.


Many thanks for the input, dk.

Although I haven't taken the case off, I did get the impression that this
one is a bit hi-tech for a newb!

I'm not good at googling and would appreciate any relevant links to the
troubleshoot and repair. I appreciate this might be beyond your scope.

If the tweak is not a low-tech one, I'll start saving for a 19" LCD now!
:-(

Many Thanks,

Pete.
