    Vintage Philips 4BM2797 CRT BW monitor repair/tuneup

    I have a Philips 4BM2797 black and white VGA CRT monitor that is very dim. If I put the brightness at medium (indent at the pot), the text is barely visible in a moderately lit room.

    I looked around for a service manual, but was unable to find one. Also there are no G2/Focus adjustments on flyback...
    There is a row of adjustment trimmers, but they aren't marked..

    Anyone has any info about it?
    Thanks

      Anyways, I marked all the pots with sharpie and started turning them slightly. The one marked 3537 is clearly the G2 voltage control as I was able to crank it up so the retrace lines started to show up. This is the third one from the rear side...

      Now the image is much brighter, and still very sharp. So most likely the tube is in a pretty good condition still

          Dell monitor PSU vs Dell laptop PSU
          by keepread
          Hi there!
          Someone gave me their old monitor, it's Dell S2715ht.
          The owner was using it when his PSU began to smell and then to smoke. It literally began to melt. He turned the monitor off, pulled the PSU, and ditched it because it was smelly even after it cooled. So I got the monitor but not the plug.
          Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

          Philips 243v5lhsb00 Monitor Picture too bright
          by Schwoin
          Hey everyone,

          the picture on my philips monitor looks way too bright so that black appears grey and colors also seem too bright.



          While i tried to tilt the screen a little bit while it was displaying a picture, i´ve noticed, that there appeared some purple pixels. In the following picture
          you can see them on the top half of the photo.



          At a certain point during the tilting, the picture looked normal again but as soon as i laid it back down, the purple pixels were gone and the picture was bright again.

          AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
          by wattage
          Hello Badcaps Community,

          I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

          The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...
