i have a monitor that i'm not familiar with...it's a 19" Betson MTG2901. it's brand new i believe and all it does is click every couple seconds. i used an ISO but not sure if it needs it!

ok pcb has MTG 2901 and also has 1901 and is the Tovis.

any help?

read about ticking sounds from other monitors so i decided to pull chassis and ck for cold joints but nothing! went ahead and reflowed all connector header pins and even flyback. also read about having a bad pot....my H Size white plastic adj knob on pot is gone/broken off!

could this do the power up/tick tick tick problem?

Using an ISO on a monitor that doesn't need one hurts nothing. Never say never but most likely no the pot missing wouldn;t cause that noise. Turn off the lights and turn on the game. That ticking might be an arc comming off the flyback.

hey, sorry to ask...does anyone know what chassis is this really? i'm missing the remote adjust board on mine, and need to ID the chassis. mine has MTG-1901 stamped on it, but no idea what the actual chassis is. it runs a 19" samsung tube.

thanks.
