I have been using this SE as a clock at my office for 10+ years and other than one blown cap on the analog board that I fixed, it's been working great. I came back from an appointment last week and immediately noticed that the screen was very dim and appeared to be way too large.
I took it home, and attempted to adjust the horizontal, vertical, and brightness cutoff. The brightness adjustment is just about maxed out but "acceptable..." and I was able to make the height much better, but the width is almost non-responsive. Once I get to the very ends of the barrel screw, the image moves a tiny bit in either direction, but I can't shrink it enough. Additionally, after running for a couple minutes, I get a really high pitched whining noise from around the flyback transformer.
I tried reflowing the solder joints on the analog board and CRT connector... didn't make much difference although I did find two that were cracked.
Any ideas? Dead Mac Scrolls didn't have anything about issues like this.
