Okay, so after a big rebuild, I've got this G07 finally tweaked as best I can and to my liking. Overall, I'm happy with it. BUT...I do have a little issue with the picture. On the left side of the picture there are these little squiggly lines that run up and down, top to bottom (technically it would be horizontally since the monitor is mounted vertically.)

They are very thin lines, usually light in color, sometimes black - thin as hairs. They're very inconsistent, sometimes there are several, sometimes just one faint one and then sometimes there won't be any and the picture will be fine for minutes on end.


Here's what I've done with this G07 thus far:

- Cap kit, replaced all caps

- Replaced HOT and flyback

- Replaced IC501 to fix sync


Anyone have any ideas as to what this is and how to fix it? I'm hoping it's something simple as I've spent so much time on this thing already and so close to finishing!

Is this a multi board?
 
It's an original Frogger board (834-0086). Works perfect in other monitors.
 
I went through and reflowed the solder on every one of the pins that were on the chassis (ie: video connector pins, tube/defection pins, sync pins, etc.) When I first fired it up, there were still some random lines on the left side. I walked away and grabbed my video camera to take a short video and when I got back, there were no lines and there haven't been ever since. WEIRD! Since then all has been well. Strange luck. I'll post with a video if they return.
