Hi,

I would consider $55 not much for a repair. I would have gambled on this
myself, as long as I know that the CRT emission is good. When we start
talking about $150 to $200 and up for servicing this type of set, I
would then have second thoughts. Each of us have our own opinions about
where the value cut-off point is for this type of thing. I am a bit of a
gambler at times. Believe me, I've had my share of losses and gains in
guessing at things.

I would have them check the degaussing coil, and its connections before
panicking about other possible faults.

It sounds like the servicer forgot to connect back the degaussing
coil, or
this has failed.

How old is the monitor, and how much did you have to lay out to have
it
fixed???

Jerry G.! Good to hear from you again. Here is some data from the back
of
the monitor:

Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751
Mod. No. CM751U
Manufactured September 1999

S. No. CM751U - 515 and then
# V9I 041301

The recent repair cost $55. Think it was worth it? I guess I should have
put
the money into a new one instead.

Hi, folks; back again...

I got my 19" monitor back Tuesday from the shop after a long-delayed
repair.
The image is good now, but now there is a color problem.

Used to be that shades of red onscreen always revealed a small bluish
smudge
near the center of the screen, but that didn't spoil it for graphics
work.
Now, there is blue "dust" down the left-hand side, the center, and lower
right corner. What happened??

My question is, can anything be done about this? To avoid another 3-week
hassle, is there anything I can do myself to correct the color? Is it
the
repairman's responsibility?

One more thing: This Hitachi 751 has a "Degauss" button. Pressing it
used to
bounce the image on the screen violently, with the same "bonk" the
monitor
made when turning it on. I guessed that was just the degausser
degaussing.
Now nothing happens. Opinions??

For reference, I've pasted Jerry Greenberg's answer to my original
problem.
(Yeah, it took me that long to get it to the shop.) Sorry for the long
post. As before, I'm grateful for your thoughts.
