Vertical collapse question

[deanzor]

Hello all.

It seems my Naomi has developed a vertical collapse since I've moved house. Switched it on today after somehow lugging it up the stairs yesterday, and.... white line of doom.

We moved two weeks ago, and prior to this the monitor was in the dining room, but the rest of it was in the garage.

My (dumb?) question is: can the collapse be caused by something other than a component failure? Or am I definitely now looking at getting the chassis out and sent off to a competent individual?

Any insight appreciated, thanks.

Dean

Sorry, it’s time to pull the chassis it seems.

I would check nothing come loose, connection from copper scan coils on back of tube you have 4 wires and connector that plugs into chassis

I got a flickering white horizontal bar in the centre of the screen when the remote board wasn't plugged in, was green when only the monitor was on and not the Naomi

Good point, if remote board is in the cab it's self and not connected up can get same issues

cracked solder joints are common on crt tv's and monitors,
they are specially common on parts bolted to heatsinks/frames because those large bits shift and pull on the components bolted to them.

Easy done, better than forgetting to put the EHT lead on the tube though and i've done that before
