Defective monitor?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

From: "ms" <ms@invalid.com>

| A used Sony 15" Trinitron monitor.
|
| Plugged it into my old computer (W98SE) which displays fine on it's normal monitor.
|
| This monitor: screen had normal display but totally green screen, also several
| diagnal white lines across the screen. There is a color button but it has no
| effect, so it stays green.
|
| Wanted to confirm that this is defective?
|
| Is it the color color circuitry in the montor that's likely causes this?
|
| TIA

Sure sounds defective. Examine the pins of the VGA cable. A beny pin could be the cause of
the off-colour. The diagonal white lines are indicative of problems in the monitor itself.

The retrace lines are indicative of a monitor fault. It looks like the
problem could be at or near the electron gun. It may be as simple as a
problem with the green video amp on the CRT PCB (eg dry solder joint),
or it could be as serious as a heater-to-cathode short internal to the
CRT.

Would be helpful if you published the model number.
I can't remember a monitor made in the last decade that had a color
swtich. Most of them were digital interfaces with 9-pins.
Not compatible with your analog 15-pin VGA plug.

So, whatcha got? If the cable can disconnect from the monitor end,
count those pins too.

We, in the engineering field, call this a "technical tap."
Others call it a "kick in the butt."
