I have an IBM G70 monitor that has gone dark. It still has high voltage and
the CRT lights. So I think the trouble is in the logic circuitry or the
power supply.

When I switch it on I hear the degaussing surge. But when I press the
degauss button, nothing happens. In fact, none of the controls have any
effect.

Can anyone help? A schematic diagram of this or a similar unit would be of
immense assistance.

Thanks, Bob

Here's a post from Anatek's monitor archive, maybe similar problem:

QUOTE
QUESTION NO. P1027-10: IBM 6544-403 monitor has raster but no video.
However, when powering down video is momentarily present. Replaced
LM1205 on CRT pcb-same.

On this G70 model, when there is no video with the signal cable still
attached, but the picture flashes on the screen during shut-off, the
usual cause is a bad rubberized-membrane control panel (under the CRT
face), which must be replaced.

Thanks for the quote but my symptoms are different. I simply get NO display
under any circumstances. Not even a flash.

You could try the diagram for the IBM 6543 (G50), (if you haven't
already), to see if similar enough.

Here's one location:

Try turning the screen control on the fbk. I've seen one with a bad
spot on this type before. Be very, very careful of High Voltage!

.... You mean 15" sparks are SUPPOSED to come out of this thing?!?

Thanks Dave but that link doesn't work.

Any other ideas?
