For about 6 months the monitor suffered from vert collapse which could
be cured with a swift smack on the case, then it gave up, just a single
horizontal line. I took the cover off & found that tapping the LA7838
heatsink would cause the bottom 1" of the picture to 'hang' from the
line. At this point I sent the monitor off to the local TV guy for repair.
He phoned me a couple of days later saying the field output transformer
had gone, taking with it a couple of ic's and a bunch of caps, and would
cost about £200 to repair - which I declined. (A replacement can be
bought for not much more)
I now have it opened up on the bench and see the LA7838 has been resoldered.
Any ideas
