How fucked am I? Also CRT thread I guess.
>>11107828maybe just needs a recap, and you can replace that shitty aperture grille with a superior slot mask for free or cheap. Slot mask really is the superior phosphor geometry for most applications. Trinitron just has a tiny bit more brightness
>>11107879This. FPBP.
>>11107828soul
>>11107879Based slot mask repper
>>11107828just give it a good wack
>>11107828you're too helpless to not kill yourself opening it, so donate it to someone who for sure will repair it, if the phosphors are still vibrant. there's no fixing a faded CRT
>>11107828Completely fucked. Last time this happened to me it turned out to be a shorted tube.
>>11107828what is it supposed to look like?
>>11107828Mine does that when its too close to the router.
im picking up a 2008 manufactured zenith healthview on friday. never used as it was a spare.
>>11107828Rotate it and watch as it fixes itself
>>11107828Looks like your plug might not be in properlyOr it is magnetised, turn it off by the switch instead of standby
>>11107828That happens because the green electron gun is getting too much power and bleeding into the screen, you need to stick a screwdriver under the red thing to let out the excess voltage (must be turned on for this).
>>11107828you can use a degausser on itif there are LARGE magnets within 8 feet in the roommove them away from the tvguitar amps, home theater speakers, soundbars, etcif the speakers are not shielded it will cause discoloration\alignment issues
>>11109546Don't do this or you'll die, OP
Is CRT repair really as difficult as it seems? The picture on mine is starting to warp and I'd like to fix it, but I don't want to fry myself. I've done some solder jobs so I'm not a complete shitter at electronics repair.
>>11110873The only problem is that youre troubleshooting a complicated high voltage electronic device with most likely very little information. If you got some monitor with a comprehensive service manual available, great, otherwise you're fucked trying to figure that shit out.
