Update FIXED: Yet another monitor question from me.

I hate posting 2 questions in a week but I really have a hard time figuring out monitors.

I searched but can not find an answer to this one.

A few months ago I took a semi local shop the NeoTec monitor out of my Cruzin World because it was blowing the HOT. He gave me a replacement to use for a month until he had time to work on it. The replacement has pretty bad screen burn from cruizn USA but i was only using it temporarily so no big deal. Now the shop has closed down and the guy has disappeared and I have no way to contact him so I'm pissed.

I had a extra 27in K7500 that I was able to fit in there after some work and doing a cap kit on it (that was part of my post a few days ago). Everything is good now, ran it a few hours to get colors and focus perfect.

BUT!!!
As soon as I slide the control panel/steering assembly into place the bottom half the monitor colors turn pink and blue. Slide the control panel off and they are perfect again. I shut it all down and let everything cool off for a few hours and installed the control panel and restarted it in hopes that the degaussing coil would kick in and fix it. But the colors on the bottom half are still discolored pink and light blue, slide the control panel off and they are perfect again.

I'm guessing that this is becuase of the bigger monitor sitting closer to the force feedback motor? Am I thinking correctly? Any way to fix this?

Aluminum foil is your friend.

Try "shielding" your monitor from the motor with the foil. You many need to try grounding it?

I had a tech tell me that he had luck using cardboard to shield isolation transformers from the monitor.
 
I tried using about 20 layers of tin foil between the monitor and the motor, tried grounding both the monitor and the motor and still no success.

But I borrowed a degaussing coil from my friend and that seems to have fixed it. My best guess (but I could be completely wrong) is that the monitor became magantized and would adjust fine until the magnet in the motor got near and the magnetic fields were opposite each other causing the discoloration and the k7500 degauss coil was not strong enough to overcome this but the plug in kind was.

Played about an hour straight turning on and off at least 10 times and all seems good. So for now at least it's fixed.
