I have a newer totally rebuilt WG 19" in a ms pac and the colors were off on the lower left corner.... Degaussed it n it was fine..... Turn the game off n back on n the colors in that lower left corner are outa whack again ..... What gives ???
 
rotate the game 90 degrees while it's on. then turn it off. wait about 30 minutes, turn it back on. degauss coil should handle it.. then try turning it back the way it was. you might get lucky.

Your saying lay this big bastard on its side then turn it on ???

No, just "twist" it so that instead of, say, being pointed "North", it is pointed "East" in your room.

This has helped me before as well.
 
yeah, the earth's magnetic poles can affect monitors.

in fact, when calibrating them you have to face them a certain way, E-W if I remember right.

I had this problem on a 20th Anniv Ms. Pac/Galaga, it annoyed the shit out of me for years. then I did what I just told you to try and it finally got rid of the gaussed corner. it was crazy.
 
I just found out that this is the problem with my Ms. Pac.....such a crazy problem for sure!
 
I think it's cause of the angle the monitor sits. it's like almost flat. it's very prevalent on cocktails for sure cause those do mount entirely flat. so you have to pull some polar voodoo. lol
