ViewSonic P815 Buzzing Issue
Any tips on this would be greaty appreciated as I'm a bit stumped. My Viewsonic P815 monitor works great, but it has an annoying buzzing noise. Great picture. The noise seems to be coming from a small board attached on the top of the tube. (has tons of small wires leading arouund the tube attached to about 20 wire wrap posts on this board, compensation board?) I poked around with a stick and touching this board causes a change in the buzz but doesn't quiet it, it even seems to get a bit louder. I can't seem to localize it within that board using a hose. I'm a but stumped... I figured I would poke around with a stick and when I hit something that made it quieter, I'd put a little hot glue on it. If anyone has a tip or two I'd be grateful. This is a killer monitor, but I can't stand the buzzing... Thanks in advance! james |

That is what I thought it might be... but the noise doesn't appear to be from the yoke, but the junction board itself. The board has a few coils on it, but they don't appear to be the source of the noise either. Its possible my detection methods aren't accurate enough to pinpoint the source on the board though. Maybe I'll try poking with a smaller diameter stick. Thanks for the ideas! james James Sweet wrote: "James Peverill" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the ideas! james Another idea is find a piece of flexible plastic tubing, stick one end in your ear and poke around with the other listening for the source. Be careful not to touch exposed connections, they'll bite. |

I've been a P815 owner since 1997 and also love the great picture but
can't stand the buzzing. This thread ended before you ever reported success or not. James Peverill wrote in message ... Any tips on this would be greaty appreciated as I'm a bit stumped.
