Vertical Sync issue and HV shutdown - Paperboy and K7000. ARRGH!
I am at my wits end with this Paperboy. I am cursed with this thing. If you're keeping score...
I had a Disco monitor in my Paperboy. It took forever to warm up. So, I capped it. Well, as I got into capping it I realized I had some goofy ass Disco and the cap kit didn't match. I replaced a few wrong cap values and then got confused and it was all screwed up. I finally got it working again but it was ROLLING. I couldn't get it to sync vertically. It barely rolled. If I walked away after I got it to sync I'd come back and it was rolling. Very frustrating. AND, the bottom was smooshed. Everyone told me Discos suck. So, I looked for a replacement.
Picked up a cheap Toobin' for the K7000 monitor in it. Got it home, neck is cracked!!! ARRGH!! So, I pulled the chassis and stuck it on the Disco tube. It worked! But, it was rolling still!! And, I had a bad curve on the right side.
So... I capped the K7000. I messed up the cap kit and installed a cap backwards. I fixed that but then found I blew a resistor (R91 1.2 OHM 5% 2W MF). I stuck a 1.0 OHM on there and IT WORKS!! But, I still have the frickin' god darn Vertical Roll. I can't get it to sync. And I also have the curve STILL on the right. And, the worst part, if I touch any of the adjustment knobs the monitor SHUTS DOWN. I can't make adjustments more than a few seconds and after that it shuts down and I have to wait. It's going into HV shutdown constantly.
This monitor is making me MAD!!!! ARRRGH!
Any ideas.
I am all over the Randy Fromm Flow Charts and they got the monitor working again. I am just exhausted from this thing. I just want my Paperboy back! Anyone have a magic wand?
Also, what are the odds that two monitors would have the same sync issues?? Besides the HV shutdown issue, which is an issue, isn't it odd that the K7000 is rolling like my DISCO did?? Could it be the headers on the PCB video out?? I was thinking of reflowing those next to hopefully fix the rolling if it is a PCB issue. What else could it be?
