Okay, so I got a new flyback for my monitor (k7000 model), and it seems to be a success. HOWEVER, for some reason when the screen had all black background around white letters (like a option menu screen, for instance), the letters were very fuzzy and out of focus. So, I adjusted the focus to make it sharp. Good, looks great now! But, when it went to a game screen with many colors and graphics all over the screen, then THAT was fuzzy. So, I toned the "screen/voltage" way down, and that seems to have done the trick (more on this later?).
But here's a new problem:
I replaced many caps before this. I say many caps because I didn't have all of them at the time. Only about half or maybe even a hair less of the caps did I replace. It fixed an issue I had (slight hopping), and the screen looked pretty darn good. I had some slight slight vertical lines on the left of the screen before and after the cap kit, but I would live with it. Only showed up on very dark solid colors. I assume one of the many caps I didn't replace would have fixed this.
I'm telling you this because, now, after the new flyback replacement, I see jailbars across the screen much more predominately. It was as if the flyback enhanced the problem. Does this make ANY sense at all? Is it the cap that was bad, or is something wrong with the actual flyback?
Because, quite honestly, that issue where it was sharp on some screens, and not on others scares me. Seems that after adjusting, that's been fixed... or has it? You never know when it may show back up.
