Re: Cinematronics Monitor Problem

I fixed the problem. It turned out to be a bad analog switch. I thought I already checked that, but I guess I was wrong. Oh well. It works, that's all I care about.

Thanks for the suggestions.....

Matt

    My first guess was that it was either the Horizontal DAC was going bad or maybe the analog switch is going bad. I tried replacing both but still the same problem. If you look carefully at the Star Castle MPEG - the ship in the center is moving left to write and the lines don't stay adjoined very well. I haven't checked out the vertical section yet, but does anyone want to offer a suggestion on where to look? It's weird that some lines are fine, while others go way off.

    Thanks...

  In order:
      Bad ribbon cable
      bad connection between ribbon cable and DAC
      bad DAC.

  If you've already replaced the DAC that's 1 down and 2 to go
  The ribbon cable is the easiest one to try.
