Hi there,
i have a big issue about my HP/DELL/SONY P1110 Trinitron 21".
The size of my screen changes so that i have to adjust my width an centering all the time.
It keeps shaking and the outer right side and left get "squished" so i have a compressed picture there.When i hit the monitor it gets back to normal!!!??
You can reach the supervisor menu with a password 7711 where you can initialize the eeprom, so it has scratch values again.
What i'm trying to say is that my mon does strange things to the picture.
Few Months ago i recognized my black level was more greyish.
I found a solution to that in other forums.This particular monitor has a 1KO
resistor that needs to be changed.
This monitor is only 5 years old and has had the best contrast and sharpness i have ever seen.
Now i'm totally stuck and don't know what to do next to solve the prob.

Sorry for my bad grammar n stuff and i appreciate any help you can give me!!!

Hello and welcome to PCHF,

Not sure if we will be able to help you solve this problem but we can definately point you in the right direction.
If you have never fixed a monitor before then I suggest you phone around some computer repair companies and see whether they repair monitors.
Explain this problem to them.

This means that you monitor also has `dry joints`. These are easy enough to repair but once again it means you would need to open up the monitor and solder things.
Follow my above advice and phone around some computer repair shops and see whether anybody will want to repair it.

At the end of the day it may work out cheaper to purchase a new monitor compared to paying the labour for repairing your monitor.

Thank you for your reply.
I have phoned someone who can take care of my problem.
HE already ordered the 1KO resistor and i know where to solder it.
When you say my monitor has dry joints can you tell me where to find them?
Can the technician i phoned make them out?
Thanks again!

Good to hear you have someone available to fix it.

The technician will know what dry joints look like, if not then he must just check all the solder points on the motherboard and make sure none are loose or cracked.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
