So, I resoldered everything on my remote board for my monitor. If I jiggle the board, my pic goes crazy. I've checked everything on the monitor side, and it is indeed the remote board that controls the settings at fault (this is the kind with the pots). Is there a place I can buy a new board? I just can't see what else could be wrong.... any ideas? Brightness will QUICKLY go up and down, the screen will adjust small to big.... all of this is super quick. Again, it's clearly the board at fault and not at the monitor level, as I can recreate this simply by taking the board and flexing it side to side slightly.
 
pot board

First i would get some contact cleaner and spray a good amount on the board connector pins and see if that does the trick. Then i would see if you have a crack traces between the pins and pots by doing a continuity check. Then flex the pot board as you are doing this test to see if the traces make and break as you flex. Rarely have i seen pots go bad on these boards but it does happen but not more then one.
 
steve- is that on the k7000 in the ea returns??? like this???(your pots may differ slightly)

if so post a pic, i might have soem new ones you could try one and see.. got em from chad... could take one of mine just buy me a replacement... also have some used cables too so lmk if you think the connectors bad ill just throw a good used cable at ya for freebies...

the pots could just be worn out too. they felt pretty worn out when we first tinkered with that thing...

The very first thing I did was resolder the connectors, so that's not it. Could be the pots. Mike, I'd take up your offer on trying one of yours to see if that fixes it.
 
You come over here. lol. I'll show you a few things on these games......


That means I'll kick your ass in them.
 
If it has the white pots like the one pictured, yeah, they're pretty crappy pots.
Get one with the black pots if you can find one.
