Hey all;
I have a 17" Relisys 772 monitor that has a few intermittent problems. The
display will be fine for a while, then turn a pinkish colour (very hard on
the eyes!). At other times, the screen will just go blank (i.e. dark). Also,
sometimes the display is pinkish at turn on, but comes back to normal later,
only to go pink or dark again. I'm trying to inspect the board for loose
connections, bad caps, etc, but to get to the bottom of the board I need to
remove it. The problem is the red wire that goes to the suction cup thing on
the CRT. It is connected to a box that has some trim pot adjustments on the
back, and I can't see a way to remove the red wire (the wire is too short to
pull the board out with it connected. Do I disconnect it from the suction
cup?
Also, any ideas on what may be causing the intermittent display? I forgot to
mention - when the disply is working, it looks fine; it's just the weird
pinkish thing and the fact that it will sometimes go blank. I should also
mention that when I first tried it out, it worked fine for a day or so
before the problems started.
Thanks
