ive got a tovis mtg-1901cn cga color monitor. in use, or with a test pattern, the image starts out perfectly at the top. as you move down toward the middle , it gradually starts to compress the image, with more compression the closed you get to center. and when it gets to mid screen, its a full vertical collapse. bright while line across the center, with no image whatsoever in the lower 50% of the screen. also sold as a vision pro .

battery voltage is good at 123, 12v and 24 v are good. 123 volts at the flyback.
the vertical output ic is a LA7833. pin 6 has good 24 volt supply, and pin 2 ( output) is a nice 24 v square wave. i recapped the monitor, and the image is exactly the same. now im stuck.

thanks



Sounds like a shorted turn in the deflection yoke, but not sure what you mean by a square wave on the output.
