iiyama 22" crt monitor
I have an old pro502 monitor it has served me well for several years
now, but recently the picture is too narrow about 50%, sometimes it is ok but then it wobbles and goes narrow ( horizontal ) I opened it up and blew lots of dust away, one capacitor seems far more dusty than the rest maybe it's blown ? Anyone have any ideas or links to a service manual ? |

Anyone have any ideas or links to a service manual ? scientists have yet to establish any link between quantity of dust and capacitor failure. check for dry joints in the scan area. |

Could be the monitor fairy sprinkled extra fairy dust on one cap. -- #1 Offishul Ruiner of Usenet, March 2007 #1 Usenet Asshole, March 2007 #1 Bartlo Pset, March 13-24 2007 #10 Most hated Usenetizen of all time Pierre Salinger Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker, June 2004 COOSN-266-06-25794 Well I opened it up, used the hair dryer to blow the dust away and it seems ok for now, might only last a few minutes but it is ok for now. |

You really should poke around with an insulated stick and try to find the dry joints. I would go so far as to say the majority of CRT monitor failures start out that way, but turn into bigger problems as the bad connections blow more expensive parts. |
