I have a 6/7 year old Dell 1626ht 21" sony trinitron tube monitor.
After a recent move up the road it has developed a strange wobble that
occurs normally after a few hours use, stays for a few hours then goes
away sometimes.
It is really hard to describe. It only effects the vertical.
The best I can say is that the inner portion of the screen "pinches"
towards the middle, but only in the vertical.
The top and bottom of the screen remain more or less in the same
position (slight movement) The center of the screen remains in the
same place, but the 25% and 75% position seem to move towards 35% and
65% respectivly. ie. it goes from linear to non-linear.
It has a period of maybe a 1/10th of a second, but is fairly random
maybe 2 or 3 times a second.
I've tried degaussing, checking/swapping cables, using a different PC
to drive it and changing the power cables. Oh and I've thumped it too.
I assume it is a dry joint or crack or similar.
Could it be dust that has moved during the move?
It doesn't make any odd noises or smells.
It's a great monitor that I have enjoyed for many years. Infact I
moved it with me from the UK to Spain 3 years back with no problems.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
