Got a request to post this, so enjoy. E-mail me if you
have questions. And be careful in there!
=====
Disclaimer: I have almost 30 years experience working on
this type of device. I know how to be careful when doing
these things. You probably don't have this much experience.
I will do my best to explain this clearly and in enough
detail that you can do it yourself. However, I make no
promises, and I certainly do not take any responsibility
for the results. If this is a problem, the course is
simple: don't do it. This instruction set is offered to
the public domain and may be passed around or reprinted
anywhere, so that others may benefit. I only ask that you
leave my name on it. Dennis McClain-Furmanski,
GS MONITOR REPAIR -- HIGH VOLTAGE PROBLEMS
This is a set of instructions for repairing the GS monitor.
This is not hard, but it is not without difficulties or
danger. Please pay very close attention to both instructions
and caution warnings. Read it all at least twice before
trying to do anything. Make sure all power is off before
connecting or disconnecting anything to the computer.
The GS monitor, just like all other high voltage driven CRT
devices deteriorates in function with age. This is
unavoidable wear-and-tear, and is accounted for in the
design. The problem is deterioration in the high voltage
circuitry and/or those portions on the monitor which
are operated by it.
SYMPTOMS: Increasing loss of brightness, contrast and/or
focus. The picture may 'bloom', that is get larger when
you turn up the brightness, and shrink when you turn it
