Sony GDM-F400 CRT FD Trinitron Fault
Hi,
Take a looksie http://www.firedome.karoo.net/IMG_0003.JPG Look closely and you will see what appears to be interference, I promise you it isn't. If the monitor is switched off then back on for a split second the screen is sharp, in focus and without these lines. Then the monitor goes haywire. It seems to be worse when then monitor displays lighter colours and especially white. Is it fixable? Thanks, Mike -- Mike Myers Trance @ www.di.fm ) ICQ 1312739 |

Sony GDM-F400 CRT FD Trinitron Fault
Fixable? Yes.
At what cost? Unknown until it is properly diagnosed by an experienced and qualified technician. Most minor monitor repairs are at least $75 for things like a single bad capacitor or a solder connection issue. Repair costs typically go up from there. Is the monitor worth fixing? Unknown. Is it worth at least paying for a quality estimate? Possibly if it is a 19" or larger. From the very limited information available in the picture, I would start by troubleshooting the power supplies and high voltage supplies. David "Mike Myers" wrote in message ...

Sony GDM-F400 CRT FD Trinitron Fault
Mike:
To me, it looks like an electrolytic capacitor is bad. I had a 19" CTX last week that had a simular problem. It turned out to be a 1000Uf/16V capacitor had gone done in value to about 50Uf. I would start by checking the caps in the secondary of the power supply first. Then check the ones in the horizontal/vertical sweep section. And finally check those on the CRT neck board. An ESR meter comes in handy here to check the caps in circuit. John |

Sony GDM-F400 CRT FD Trinitron Fault
All monitors are fixable. It depends on how much you want to invest in
repairs. This looks like a fault in the power supply, horiz scan, and or high voltage sections. It is also possible that the HV multiplier may be defective. This type of fault would require proper troubleshooting. You would have to bring the monitor in to a service centre to have it repaired. You will not be able to service this yourself. Since it is a very good model, and if the CRT is in good condition, It may be worth to service it. You would have to have an estimate done in order to make an intelligent decision. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Mike Myers" wrote in message ...
