Hello all,
Are you the guy who's been asking for scheamtics over on hpmuseum.net?
I'm experiencing some monitors in the last time, mostly, but not only
from HP, with the effect of some kind of small bubbles or shell-like
failures in the flront part of the crt-tube. Somewhere I read the
description of "screen mold".
Some of them seems to be stored at a lower temperature, more specific at
changing temperatures, in a garage with temperatures somehow closely
related to outside.
Does someone knows this effect, has an explanation of it's source (is it
The CRT faceplate is made of 2 pieces of glass bonded together (I think
it's like a laminated car windscreen, the idea being to support the glass
if the CRT should implode). It would appear that whatever was used for
the bonding either grows mould (fungus-type-stuff) or chemically changes.
At least one person
Loboyko Steve <sloboyko at yahoo.com>. He also posted a long message about
how to get the glass plates apart, clean them and reassemble the whole
thing. It should be in the archives.
