I can't seem to figure this one out. Pictures first, and then some incessant rambling.
I've already capped it, been over the board (component-level troubleshooting) a few quick times. Nothing is standing out as an issue. Neck board transistors all test similarly (diode DMM test all possible directions). The resistors next to the transistors also test in-spec.
Screen is the same after the cap kit as it was before.
It has a lot of blue, only some green and no red. The adjustment pots are cranked for green and red, I've tried moving the red and green cut-offs all the way in both directions with no significant change. I have the screen and/or brightness cranked in the pics to make sure it shows up (it's also sort-of dim). I'm leaning toward rejuvenation, and will try at least testing with a rejuvenator tomorrow.
Is there any chance that this is due to the chassis? I'm a bit astounded, this is really a relatively new monitor (compared to the 20+ year old ones I'm usually working on). I'm shocked this is having this level of issue already.
Anyone seen this issue on a Pinball 2000, Revenge From Mars, or Star Wars Episode I before? I'm also suspecting (nearly sure) this monitor has some EXTREME hours on it. I'm talking 24 hours a day for a significant period of time, so that could explain things if it does need a rejuve.
Thanks all!
