    HP/Sony CRT Monitor - markings on the screen

    I recently got an HP A7217A (rebadged sony FW900) monitor that works pretty well, but there's some kind of issue that appears to be with the anti-glare coating (maybe) being damaged. The picture illustrates this better than I could describe it, so those would be worth a look.

    Any ideas as to the cause of the problem and any possible ways to fix it? I've tried all kinds of standard cleaning strategies.

      kids using it for a chalkboard?
      looks like you will need to strip the antiglare to fix.

          No, I got it like that. Any ideas as to how to get that antiglare coating off?

              Thats part of the crt glass, you would need a glass polishing compound like cerium oxide, but then the screen would end up being shinny.

                  did you try wiping it with glass cleaner, vinegar, white spirit etc.?

                      A little progress has been made since last time. I've had very minimal results with glass cleaner, Formula 409, and SimpleGreen. The most success I've had so far is Magic Eraser drenched in Formula 409, but that's still pretty slow going too.

                          Something that I would try, (because I am nuts anyway) is to take the crt completely out and use carb cleaner on the face. Do not get any carb cleaner on plastics or the Dag coating.

                              Fixed!

                              After a few days of intense scrubbing with Formula 409 and Magic Eraser, I finally got the rest of that coating off.

                              It took a lot of effort, but it was definitely worth it. Now the monitor looks good whether it is on or off.

                                  AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
                                  by turmix
                                  Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

                                  The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
                                  At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

                                  During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

                                  Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                                  My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                                  This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                                  by momaka
                                  Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                                  Having this very weird issue.
                                  The owner of this laptop complained about screen being intermittent when opening and closing, and has been using the laptop on a thunderbolt video connection since the screen failed.

                                  I swapped with a working screen from an A2141 waiting for parts.

                                  The Os exhibits this weird behavior where it boots to to 1/3 the status bar, then it makes the boop sound. It's at the log in but for whatever reason the desktop isn't loaded.

                                  The laptop boots fine into recovery mode. I updated from Monterey to Sonoma and the laptop still has...

                                  AOC 27 monitor Q27G2WG4 doesn't display logo or image on screen
                                  by 3D Modelka
                                  Hello. I have a problem with my AOC 27 monitor, specifically model Q27G2WG4, which I have been using for 3 years. The monitor stopped turning on: when I turn it on, the backlight turns on, the indicator starts glowing white, but the logo on the screen does not appear, and there is no image. However, if I check in the Windows system, the monitor is displayed as connected and working. I tried connecting it via HDMI and DP, but the result remains the same. If I turn the monitor on and off multiple times, it will eventually start and work. However, when the monitor is working, there are no issues....
