HEY GUYS.. i have a 27" u5000 here.. brought to me with a blown hot. The former owner tried messing with b+ "to make the pic a little more perfect" and broke the pot. It "looked good" for a few days then puked the hot.
I replaced the hot, replaced the b+pot, recapped it, and set b+ to spec...
It worked, but the pic was bowed in (hourglass), worst on the right side, and the width adjustment does not work... its stuck real wide. Also the pic will not go fully tall, it will fold in on itself if adjustment is attempted.
It ran as-is like this for about a month then puked ther hot again..
monitor sat several months, the former owner got a new monitor and gave this back to me for free...
I replaced the hot again, performed the bulletin in which you trim back the plastic pcb holder and reflow solder add a heat sink etc.. fyi this has also already had the vertical sweep mod done as well.
well after all my hard work, it works again, but still has the same picture problems as before. I suspect if ran too long itll puke the hot again..
Has anybody ever ran into this issue before? or is there something you would suspect? im pretty good at tracking down k7000 issues but this turd u5000 is throwing me for a loop!
for frame of reference, heres what it looked like then (and still does now)
and heres the old thread
