Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: Cap kit :(

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Worm"]It worked fine for a few days and now the image is pinching in on the top and bottom if I give the monitor a slap it stops for a bit. It's been pretty irregular generally. I'm guessing the thing is just dying but would there be any sort of heroic measures I can take at this point? It's kind of a nice monitor and if I had an idea of what to look for I'd be fine with opening it up rather than leaving it to die. It's nice for playing older 3:4 games on for nostalgia reasons. I'm hoping the slapping means it's some kind of component rather than the tube itself just dying. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Iqxm1.jpg">huge image here</a>[/quote] One of the things Tdarcos taught me to scan for keywords and then cross-reference those keywords with the limited pool of knowledge I possess. So I saw "CRT" and "pinching" and I know that with arcade CRTs you'd need to install a set of new capacitors. Now, the problems with this advice is that I have no idea if that's still a "thing" that people did for modern CRTs. It's like when my toilet recently died. I had the technology on my toilet that involved the long pole and the bulb. You can imagine my frustration when I went to Lowes and they didn't have that, they had this goddamn Willy Wonka bubble factory pipe shit instead. Well, that's all they make now. That's all they make, Worm. I am not sure where you'd get the technical documentation for the caps, either. But it CAN be done and I hope that you do do it. If anime girls, like in your photo, were weirdly proportioned, I think it would break mimesis. Yours in Christ, ICJ [/quote]
