Default LG Studioworks 700S CRT Monitor Yellow Display

Hi guys, thanks for a having time on this thread. Actually, i had a technical problem with my old school monitor which is CRT type. Just recently the video that appears in the screen turned into yellow and when i turned the monitor off and switch it on again, the displays back to normal, unfortunately, after sometimes the yellow display appears again. I've already checked any cut in VGA cable fortunately it's fine. Most likely the problem is inside the monitor.
Any help will be great pleasure! Thanks

Try smacking it when it goes yellow, see if it flickers back to normal.

If it does, you have bad solder joints. Easy fix.

It could be solder joints, or it could be a driver transistor(s) that's going faulty, or it could be the tube that's developing an internal short on a cathode - all give similar symptoms.

Open her up and check the soldering on the tube base PCB, wiggle the tube base socket and see what happens from there...
