Bringing this topic back up - I never did get around to fixing this yet.
I plan to just send the chassis out to be fixed, however, I would like some advice.
I see the ground strap is missing. I have a ground strap on another non-working chassis. Can I remove that ground strap and attach it to the currently non-grounded monitor? I guess I just want to avoid getting zapped. If I attach that ground, will it discharge (not the monitor, but will there be a zap just in putting the ground strap on?). Once the ground is on, I have no issue discharging the screen.
Also - the screen works - but is squished - looking like a straight line down the middle. Is there a possibility the missing ground strap could be the problem?
EDIT: This is from an old thread before the monitor section was added.
