I was messing around with the screen on a machine the other day. Trying to center it the best I possibly could.

And for shits and giggles I turned the brightness all the way up, heard what can be described as a bzzz or minor zap, then I quickly turned it back down, whoops.

Anyway, I can't get the blue to work anymore. Screen looks modestly fuzzy, and not enough or no blue.

Are you referring to fixing a component on the neck board?


That is very likely. The color circuits are partially on the main board and partially on the neckboard. Of course, it could be a cold solder joint instead of a failed component. Either way testing needs to be done.
 
I just recapped the chassis, so I guess I could pull it back out, and reflow some solder on the neck board to see what happens. thanks
