OK Dan, so maybe that was a widdo too hard. You see that big ole hole in the side with all the bits of broken glass showing, that's called the CRT. But hey, throw some duct tape over it and you won't notice a thing. In a month, no prob as it is a well known fact that duct tape has healing properties and the hole will disappear completely. > ...Although mine never went blank, I experienced this with two monitors- one a > Apple 15" Multi-Sync that was repaired under a Apple recall that was extended > and a Sony 400PS 19", which was also repaired under warranty (after it had > expired several weeks) by Sony. > > In both cases, a soldering point went loose in one of the color guns (sorry > about the layman's term) and the blame went to a combination of manufacturing > defect, heat and maybe rough handling during shipping that may have triggered > the event. ... > Alan Alan, can you tell me more. Mine is a Sony 19" Trinitron (in a KDS housing) and it appears the 400ps is also a Trinitron. Even though your symptom wasn't identical, there's a chance that the manufacturing error was the same. By chance do you still have the repair order which might show specifically what was repaired? If mine goes black again I'll probably end up having to open it up to see if I can find any loose connections. Of course I'll discharge it first so I don't get fried.
