Sony Multiscan 210 ES monitor turning yellow
Hi,
my trustee old Sony monitor occasionally turns yellow. This happens periodically and it remains yellow for a few second or up to several minutes. I suppose the yellow is caused by a missing "blue", and I'm pretty sure that the problem isn't located in the cable. I've read somewhere that older Sony products suffer from poor soldering - could this be the case here? If yes - where on the circuit board should I focus? TIA Ryan |

TIA Ryan Does a good whack on the side or top of the monitor clear up the problem? If so, is probably bad solder on the CRT PCB on the neck board. You will have to de-solder the metal shield on this PCB to get at the solder side. While you're in there, I would check ALL boards for bad solder, and would esr all the electros and replace as required. Wayne |

Ryan:
The must common faults of missing colors a 1. A break in the color video signal wire within the video cable. This usually occurs near the end that connects to the computer. Try bending the cable and see if the color comes back. You can purchase new 15 pin ends at Radio Shack and solder a new end on the cable. 2. A bad solder connection at the socket where the CRT circuit board plugs onto the back of the picture tube. Just resolder the connections. 3. A bad video driver transistor or driver IC that supplies the color signals to the picture tube. Measure the voltages on the three color signal connections on the picture tube socket. The missing one will usually be very different. I would download a standard color bar program from the web to determine which color is actually missing. There are also pinouts on the web that indicate which pins do what functions on the picture tube socket. Hope this helps... John |
