My CRT monitor's display is curved in on the sides, and the menu options for correcting this are not responding. Furthermore, the width of my display is too wide, and that menu option is not responding as well. Other menu options are working, however.
Anybody have any ideas on what the cause of this problem is and how I may be able to fix it?
Hi,
Your post/description indicates a "pincushion" problem; the width problem is as you have stated.
There are two (2) possible reason for these problems:
1. component failure in the horizontal section of the monitor. These components could either be a diode, a capacitor or a resistor. In some cases there are trimpots in the PCB that can be adjusted to correct these problems;
2. component/connection failure in the controller section.
Of the two, I tend to suspect #1 as highly likely the case. Repairs such as this would require that you be familiar and comfortable working with electronic components and circuitry, the use of a DVM and a soldering iron. Should this be not to your liking, your next best bet would be to seek the services of a qualified professional.
Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
