Fixing a IIgs monitor?

Postby olePigeon » 30 May 2012, 22:02

I have an Apple IIgs in OK condition. The monitor is giving me issues. First, it makes a horrible high pitched sound when turned on (only slightly subdued when there's a picture on the screen, but still rather intolerable.) Second, the picture is near the bottom of the screen because if I adjust the vertical location, the picture becomes completely distorted and starts scrolling up and down.

Is this something I can repair? Anyone here used to fix CRTs?

Thanks

Have you checked the capacitors?

Try the TV repair FAQ. It's out there on the interwebs someplace.

kinda hard to tell by the description. Might need to do a short video or picture showing the symptoms.

The squeal is caused by a loose core in the flyback IF it sound like a 15khz squeal? The other issue sounds like a fault in the vertical circuit.

But at the same time, it could be all in the power supply and squeal is coming from there as well, and rendering a low B+ voltage. Does the picture appear to be slightly smaller than usual? not quite as much brightness, or brightness causes the raster to bloom? This would be indicative of low B+
