Please help! I am pulling my hair out on this #$%^&*(#@ monitor,
I've been trying to get this G05-805 working. I've checked all my voltage test points(including P100) and they test fine, but no picture. I do not feel a static build up when powered up. Tried the brightness and focus controls- no good. I even replaced the rectifier in line of the HV wire to tube. I also plugged it in to my working Battlezone, still no pic. Plugged my BZ monitor into the Asteroids cab that the G05 came from and have a nice pic. so I know PCB/wiring is good.
The tube has a strange white/blue glow deep inside neck(not to be confused with the standard orange glow of heater at end of neck). If I discharge HV(using screwdriver w/grounding wire) I only get a very small spark, no big snap/arc.
If my boards check ok, is there a way to check the tube, and is there a way to test the flyback without fancy/expensive tools? Anybody have any Ideas!?!?
Thanks for any help
Aaron
