I have recapped my 13" G07-FBO. The monitor works perfectly, but there is curl along the top of the screen (or right side, since this monitor is vertical inside a Pacman mini). I adjusted the H-Frequency pot and eliminated the curl last week. I played a game or two today, and the curl was back. After the machine was on for about 5-10 minutes, the curl was significantly less noticeable.

Notes: I did not have the proper value bipolar cap (this chassis only has one), so I left that one intact and will order a new cap along with whatever my next Mouser or Digikey order is. All other caps, including the filter cap, were replaced.

Are my symptoms a result of this one bipolar cap not being replaced or is it possibly the H-POS potentiometer drifting?
 
I recently went a few rounds with an FBO. Check out posts 9 & 10 here.
