I would try the IC at the point where you are, and from your description. I
have not serviced the particular make and model of monitor you have, but
have had similar experience with others.

I'm trying to repair my cornerstone monitor which is missing the color blue.

I've tracked it down to a driver chip (I think) - VPS10 (CRT Display video
amplifier)

If I disconnect the input pin (pin 10) the signal is the same shape as the
other two colors - red and green. The moment I connect the input back the
amplitute of the signal almost halves. I've checked the output pins as I
thought it might be pulling the input down - but no go. All
resistors/caps/diode check out ok.

Does it sound like the chip is faulty - is this a common fault? Can anyone
recommend a replacement - the local exeltroniucs shop doesnt stock them
