I have a G07 in my 60 in 1. I installed a cap kit. When I would turn it on, sometimes the screen would blink a bit, lose focus for a second or two then change back. I ws told the flyback was on the way out. I turned it off and never turned it back on in fear of the flyback going and taking out a handful of other components. I replaced the flyback and HOT. Turned it back on, took forever to get the colors adjusted and it looked great. A day or so later, I turned the game back on, it was blurry as hell and the colors were way off. Now, It sit for about 10 minutes and everything slowly comes back to the way it should be. I have to have the focus almost maxed out as well to get a crisp picture.

Problems I know this monitor still has>>
1. B+ stuck at 143V. Adjustment pot does nothing.
2. About half of the other pots do nothing either, they look old and weathered.

Parts I have coming>> All new pots, including one for the B+, and a new B+ regulator.

Should I have the cure for this on the way?
 
Adjustments drifting as the monitor warms up is almost always bad caps. How old are the caps in it?
 
Solder joints - have you reflowed any questionable ones?

I always reflow the power supply section and the entire neckboard, as well as any other questionable joints.

Check R908, X901, X902, voltage regulator.
