Subject: NEC 3FGx monitor schematic?
I have an old NEC 3FGx monitor with very little use
(belonged to my
parents who were not "computer people") that had a beautiful clear
picture until recently. There's probably a bad electrolytic cap
somewhere, since it now has horizontal problems (small dim display,
lack of horiz sync) until it is left on for 20-30 minutes.
Can anyone point me to a schematic to make it easier to repair without
"shotgunning" caps blindly?
thanks
Charles
