Interesting, yeah i have separated RGB lines but this is promising... mines also magenta vs your blue... I hope to have a IICX board running tomorrow. Just pulled the caps off today, cleaned it and fixed a couple broken traces.View attachment 59340
Mine looks like this with no input. So I’d say yours is normal. Hook it up to a Mac and see how it looks.
Edit: on second thoughts, you may have a convergence issue. I see your retrace lines are split into three parts.
No I bought it off ebay AS-IS...Back on topic, the OP's monitor is ballooned out to scan way beyond the proper borders that should be there. Do you know if this monitor has been fooled with?
This is why I’m glad I picked mine up by car. I have a hairline crack in one corner and I’m sure it would have opened up had it been shipped. Honestly, yours is not too bad though, I’ve seen far worse.** it arrived with the top left corner cracked so he gave a me a full refund.
Yes, I noticed the same thing. The knobs only do anything when there's a source of video.I just powered it up again (without anything connected) and the brightness / contrast knobs don’t change anything. Is this “normal”?
Yeah, I’m wondering how tough it is to get tat front bezel off and then what kind of glue or technique i can use to repair it. I’ve never had much luck with superglue on these old plastics. Clouds maybe dremil out some sends or grooves on the inside to get the glue to stick better and use some epoxy putty or something. Hopefully I can fix it.
YEah Ive done that same thing with an Atari 520 ST cracked case. you cant find the crack anymoreFor the front bezel, if it's just the cosmetics you want to fix, I used JB Plastic Weld to get rid of cracks on mine. I had a crack in one corner similar to your monitor (as well as some pits on the outer edges). I filled in the cracks using the JB Plastic Weld (it's like a putty that is moldable and hardens to be very strong). After that you can sand it smooth so that you can't see it, and then of course you will have to paint the monitor casing to hide the repair.
I did not unfortunately take photos before the repair, but the after is in my Quadra 700 thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/my-macintosh-quadra-700-clean-up-and-fixes.43433/
There's also a video in that thread about JB Plastic Weld, as well as which paint I used... it's not a direct match but worked for me since my Quadra 700 also had case repairs, so they match.
If you're going to do this, you can mask off the front glass of the monitor (as well as the Apple logo) so that you don't have to disassemble the entire thing. So you can mask the glass so that you can do the repair and paint it. And you can remove the rear case to paint that. That's what I did for mine.
