Re: Hazy display and blurry fonts

Makes sense. I'll try warming the main boards with a hairdryer first. Then I'll pay a little closer attention to the caps on the logic board. I suppose fro $22 it could certainly still be an issue on the power supply.

Dell 2208 wfp
1680 x 1050
75Hz
VGA

A little background; This monitor was suffering from the old 2 seconds to black issue. I opened it up and found a lot of cap issues and some diode problems as well. I was actually able to find a power supply on ebay for $22 so I bought it and that took care of the power issue immediately.

Now, when I turn the monitor on the screen has a slightly hazy look, and the font is quite blurred. I've gone through a lot of setup screens (contrast/brightness/hue/etc..) nothing really helps. I've also done the windows font...

Hi everyone,

My name is Joe and I'm from Indiana (hello Joe). I feel like i'm at an addict meeting already.

i'm your typical DIYer. Studied electrical engineering technology, work for a large healthcare company as a technical consultant. I enjoy wood working, home remodeling all sorts of electronics...probably pretty standard for this sort of place.

started working on a few monitors recently and while i was able to fix them i found this forum later and realized what a wealth of wisdom it...
