What is all this white gunk on the chassis I circled? It's everywhere in the photos not just where I circled. If it's some kind of corrosion and it traveled up into those pots could be causing your issue.
It's flux reacting to alcohol. No big deal
To further clarify, this stuff can be sticky and Mattspad's advice to clean the pots is a good idea. Or replace them.It's flux reacting to alcohol. No big deal

Generic contact cleaner is usually what I useI contact cleaned the pots (v hold, v lin, v height) and wiped them back and forth and re-installed the chassis in the frame.
I'm just using a generic contact cleaner. Everyone talks about deoxit ... is there a difference? Should I switch?
I had my son watch the screen while I wiped the pots and pushed on them and around them. Nothing brought back the top half of the picture. I decided to try the H Freq pot and the picture went dark and there's no more neck glow. It doesn't matter what position I have H freq in now, there's no picture period.
Generic contact cleaner is usually what I useDid you adjust that while the monitor was running with a metal screwdriver? I don't own a g07 but I know on this chassis you need a plastic screwdriver if the monitor is running because the stock pots are unshielded. You may have blown the fuse or hot.
Measure the b+ and report back.
I've done that and a power down and power up brought the game back up. Other times I think I fried one of the fuses (not certain about that though).
I ALWAYS, 100% of the time replace the pots with newer ones , which also happen to be plastic, so no shorting things out. And...I get rid of that stupid metal shield.
nobody else has to do this, it's what I do.![]()
If you B+ is too high, is the pot not adjusting it down?
HIGH HORSE EVERYONE:
It's a waste of everyone's TIME, to troubleshoot something that hasn't been rebuilt. Pots, caps, etc. I don't care what anyone else's opinion is on this topic.
( this isn't directed at you by the way).
So , change the B+ pot , if it has already been changed, it isn't the issue. After that we can efficiently diagnose moving forward.
It keeps sounding like you need replace all the potsI do not know if Buffet replaced the B+ pot or not but I was able to adjust it to 120V. Do you still want me to replace it?
I had left the power off for a few days and when switched on today there is now an image back on the screen. Because I fiddled with the pots it's not where it needs to be in terms of adjustment but the vertical collapse is still present.

Even though it didn't fix it, it's good you changed those anyways and it eliminates a variable. Paging @tron guy he'll know what to test next, although chilibear likely helped narrow it down for you. I'm not familiar with these chassis myself like I stated before, but what chilibear is saying sounds right.Thanks. I replaced all the pots on the PCB including the B+ ... unfortunately still experiencing vertical collapse.
tron guy made a list already.Did it take 10 years to get it back from him?
Are you able to work on these yourself at this point? There are many things that would/could cause this issue.

bad traces (though since it was working, I would consider this last)
