Anyone still do a CRT repair - and is screen damaged by heat?
My 21" monitor has, sadly, developed a fault in the line output stage
and you wouldn't believe (or perhaps you would!) how difficult it is to find someone to repair it. 1) Can you recommend someone in the UK who I could trust to do a competent job? 2) I left it with a TV repair company locally who were unable to repair it but when I picked it up the center of the screen had been left next to a radiator and was very hot. Would that do any damage to the screen? I have written to the maker (CTX) but not had a reply yet. Suggestions would be appreciated. -- TIA, James |

Ambient heat source should not have had any effect. I presume it was not
next to a blast furnace. There has to be a competent group of professional technicians, on your side of the pond, that can repair the CTX monitor for a quid or so, Eh. H'ave to be a bit diligent in finding those which specialize in monitor repairs. Suggest calling some of the Computer User Groups in your area, I'm confident they will assist directing you to a qualified facility. Cheers Gov. "James Harris" no.email.please wrote in message ...

The only thing I am having trouble believing is why someone would want to repair a CRT, when new and used ones are so cheap and abundant. Not to mention the fact that the difference between a CRT and an LCD monitor is probably less than the repair bill. |

Also, CRTs have no dead pixels My Samsung LCD 1600 x 1200 from Costco wasn't much more than a CRT equivalent. It was cheap because it had 3 dead pixels in the upper right corner. Funny thing happened after a year, the pixels came back to life and haven't failed since. |
