Sony Trinitron picture jumping vertically

etcetera · 12-15-2006, 12:42 PM

I have a 19" Sony Trinitron monitor and a day ago the picture started jumping up and down (vertically). Only the bottom half of the picture, the top seems stable.

Is the monitor dying?

Or is the video card?

or could it be I am getting voltage fluctuations in the AC current?

My money is on the monitor dying. I tried powering it down to no avail. Any opinions?

Many things that causes your moni to jiggling, could be cabling,connectors,frequencies,etc.

Is it analog or digital?

One thing for sure; try to check Vertical OpAmp IC it's located on the vertical blanking circuitry first.

Lemme know the progress......

I resolved it... by getting another monitor, same model, 21" trinitron.

BTW, I was wrong about the size, it's actually 21".

Trinitrons are nice and 21" were fairly expensive in their day but they are 6-7 years old and are dying gradually. I had a 17" 200PS seriies which was hard to match.

IN any case, problem resolved.

Haha6X; that's not problem solving. Good to have it replaced anyhow.
I have KX21HG1 it's 1986 technology for the future, sill sparkle nowadays.
See ya round......
