I've got a Viewsonic G810 and when I start it up, the monitor will make a popping sound and the picture will jump a little bit. When I say pop, it's not the degaussing coil firing. It's a different sound more like a snap. This seems to die down once it's been on for awhile but still shows up periodically once it's warmed up. I have been told that this might be the flyback. Any thoughts?

Re: Viewsonic G810 pop/jump from cold
Hey folks. A little more use on this monitor and it's kind of doing something else now. When I power it, it will degauss and then the image will stretch off the screen and the screen will go dark. Is this the flyback? What can I do to fix this? -
Re: Viewsonic G810 pop/jump from cold
Start by checking for poor connections around the horz. output / flyback area.
I got rid of all my crt moitors, you can find 19" and even 22" lcd's for next to nothing, that may only need a cap. or two changed.Comment

Re: Viewsonic G810 pop/jump from cold
You're right. Unfortunately this is going into an old arcade cabinet and they want authenticity
I'm going to check the flyback and see. How tough is it to replace the flybacks on these things? I was checking my storage shelf and it turns out I actually have a replacement flyback for one of these sitting in my workshop.

Re: Viewsonic G810 pop/jump from cold
Changed the flyback, got nothing. The flyback looks like it might have been from a different unit. Slightly different design, the 5 pins off from the U shaped set of pins didn't exactly line up. Any suggestions on where I can get the actual flyback for one of these?Comment
