I have an issue that just cropped up on my Jr Pacman monitor, it's like the blue knob is cranked to the max, see the attached pic. I tried a few things:
1) Tried wiggling the neckboard, pretty low tech but figured worth a try but that didn't do anything.
2) Used contact cleaner on all the color knobs. This monitor has red drive, green drive, red cutoff, green cutoff and blue cutoff knobs. I cleaned them all, rotated them through their full cycles, but that didn't do anything.
3) I tried setting the knobs to low settings, all that does is you then won't see the game playing anymore but the bright pattern is still there.
4) Tried the screen knob but same thing, if you turn it down the game will no longer be seen but the bright pattern is still there on screen.
5) Tried wiggling the signal cable in case it was making a bad connection, but that didn't do anything.
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to repairing monitors (this would be my first) but I want to give it a try. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
