Horizontal collapse

what monitor do you have or post pictures of the chassis if your not sure. and no its not a hot because you have high voltage and it could be many different things from caps, cracks, transistors, IC's, cold solder joints, etc, etc.
 
There's no way someone can just tell you what's wrong by your picture. Pull the chassis out, look for obvious issues and report back.
 
I JUST had this happen on a k4600 my buddy just capped. The issue? Well, he did a poor solder job on the brown wire to the horizontal width coil and it broke loose

The monitor is mounted horizontally, yet the line goes vertically. To my limited understanding, that's horizontal collapse. Would be vertical if mounted vertically
 
That is vertical collapse (for the record)

What monitor is it?

What makes you say that? Every picture that I've seen showing a horizontal line (across the long axis) was referred to as vertical collapse because the horizontal was working and the vertical was not. It stands to reason that a vertical line (across the short axis) would be referred to as the opposite condition... horizontal collapse.

I couldn't tell what game it was from the photo but it did appear to me to be a horizontally mounted monitor so it would appear then that the horizontal has failed, ergo horizontal collapse.

my eyes are that bad. I thought the monitor was mounted in vertical position. I still kind of do, haha. I have to stare at it. :)
 
It's a area 51/maximum force game. Yes it's a horizontal collapse. It's a buddy's he sent me a pic of that I suggested it's a cold or bad solder joint and maybe HOT but you guys made a good point otherwise on that. I'm getting the chassis model number now and will report back when I do.
 
well, it's impossible to be the HOT. horizontal collapse works nothing like vertical collapse, just by virtue of how the technology works. without horizontal deflection you have no high voltage. it's thus limited to either the yoke itself, the yoke header pins, or the width coil.

it's thus a very simple fix. if it's a K7000 chances are it's caused by a bad trace unless the width coil was monkeyed with at some point and broken.

EDIT: security actually nailed it in post #2, I missed it the first go around lol
 
Lol and I agreed with his post in my post above stating they proved a HOT issue is not possible lol. Anyway, it is a k7000 , just confirmed. So to restate the case here. It's a friend's area 51/ maximum force combo game with a k7000 monitor that has a Horizontal collapse. It is not in my vacinity but I am relaying this to him. I figured a bad solder joint and now possible a bad trace.
 
Ive had horizontal collapse on k7000 due to the broken traces on the yoke connector. They take a beating with that connector being so difficult to plug/unplug and the heat/burn buildups if they aren't connected well. Plugging the connector in can sometimes literally 'pop' weak pads off the board.

I had one I bought off here with the same issue. it wasn't until I removed the solder that I realized the obvious broken off pad from the trace. lol
 
that is either a cold solder joint, broken trace or broken pad.

if your horizontal section was bad, you would be popping fuses.

look around, give it a good re-flow and see what you get.

if you hit a brick wall, your welcome to send it in.
if you need parts i stock them.
