Hi, I hope you can help. I have a Sony Trinitron monitor. It suddenly went a bit out of focus. I am trying to find a restore function, with no success. I wonder if you have any suggestions.

Hi,
Follow these instructions carefully.
Make sure the monitor is in a place where you have easy access,
1. Unplug the monitor and disconnect it from CPU

2. Remove screws from the back, then remove the back, locate the flyback transformer on the circuit board, (big black thing with red wire connected to the screen). You should see three knobs on the side check to see which one is marked focus, (usually the middle)

3. Have someone stand in front of the monitor or make sure it is facing a mirror and the mirror is close to it.

4. Reconnect the monitor to the CPU, plug it in and turn them on, leave running for about ten minutes

5. Then using a screwdriver that fits, slowly turn the knob while confirming with the person standing in front of it whether it’s getting better or not. If its not try the other direction. If there is no one then check the reflection in the mirror. Once you are satisfied turn the monitor off for a minute then turn it back on, if it is ok then turn it off, unplug and disconnect it from CPU. Replace the back and screws.

Don’t touch anything else with screwdriver while turning knobs. It is always best to wear shoes with rubber soles when working around electricity.
