Post by: Hawklore on August 22, 2005, 12:42:04 PM
My screen does this now and then, my fear, it's gonna blow up on me......

Whats it doing, and how can I stop it?

Push on the plastic or the screen it's self seems to help...

I just don't want it to blow..

Haha, thats actually pretty cool! It looks like it's rolling up into something that looks like a rolled up piece of paper!

That's awesome! Uunless it blows up, then it really isn't that aweome anymore, is it...

The vertical deflection circuit tend to use a push /pull op amp and you have lost one side of it.  It will eventually fail completely and you will have a straight line across the middle of the screen.  Go get a new monitor, too expensive to repair.

My hand fills up this entire screen, and my brother and I just agreed, how did we use to live and play video games on this?!!

Yup, time for a replacement. My last CRT did the exact same thing before it finally gave up the ghost and croaked. It got replaced by a no-name 17" CRT, and last week that was replaced by a Samsung 915N 19" LCD. No comparison; the 915N is better ($339 @ newegg)
