Finally was able to successfully rebuild the 19" Tatung monitor in my stand up Megatouch. I've had this machine for nearly 6 years or so. The monitor has needed a rebuild for all that time due to drifting focus, drifting brightness, etc. I'd dial everything in and the next power cycle, it would be all out of whack again. The cap kit wasn't the issue, it was the flyback. A compatible replacement wasn't available. Based on the part number stamped on the flyback itself, there were NO replacements that could be found anywhere. After some Google searching, I found out that I wasn't the only one who could not locate a compatible replacement.
So after inspecting the chassis thoroughly, I noticed that it was extremely similar in layout, parts, and look to a Neotec. More specifically, a 25" Neotec 2515C. Even the neck boards were nearly the same. What was more intriguing was the flyback looked to be exactly the same as the one in the 19" Tatung chassis. Same footprint, same look, same design, same dimensions, etc. Based on the similarities with not only it, but the Neotec chassis itself, and the fact that the 2515C was notorious for the same types of issues I was having with the Tatung, I took a gamble and installed the replacement 25" Neotec flyback in the 19" Tatung. I also installed a full cap kit. Gave everything a good once-over, powered it up and...it works! Got everything dialed in and it's been running for nearly an hour without issue. The picture is crisp and looks great.
I'm posting this in the hopes that if anyone out there needs to rebuild the Tatung monitor in their Megatouch and is having trouble finding a new flyback, a compatible replacement is the Neotec 2515C flyback!
