Where to look in a CRT monitor for a "ghosting" pr

berniedd · Guest

I'm just an electronics hobbyist,not a service tech. Can anyone tell me where I should start troubleshooting my eMachines CRT monitor? It shows a slight out of focus at the bottom right of the screen and there's also a slight "ghosting" with an orange color of a part of any object displayed there. For example, any icons at that part of Windows' task bar exhibit an orange smudge of their borders to 1 mm beyond to the right and below their borders. The problem used to start only 15 minutes after turn on, but now it's present all the time. Other than that, the monitor is fine. Thanks for any help guys.

Sounds as though the screen needs to be de-gaussed? There should be an option on the monitor service menu for an automatic de-gauss. Hope this helps

After degaussing, you may want to check all of the supply rails and filter capacitors. It sounds like it is running out of voltage at the end of the scan line.
