This old monitor is going nuts. Sometimes it gives a decent picture, but it can also sometimes have a red, green, blue, or yellow tint. The change is sudden. When I started typing this, the monitor had a blue tint, and it suddenly changed to a yellow tint. Even when the colors seem normal, the background of this site is brown instead of gray.
Also, this monitor will start flickering sometimes. When it flickers, it seems to be alternating between having a red tint and a green tint rapidly.
Finally, I am sometimes unable to select options in the menu. I can open the menu and move between the menu options, but I can't adjust any values. It seems that the Menu/Enter button stops working when the menu is being displayed, but pressing it still brings up the menu. The menu is sometimes missing red or green and shows up as a solid blue box with transparent text.
It would probably be best to replace the monitor, but I want to see if there is anything I can repair like bad caps or bad solder joints. This is a CRT monitor.
