A friend's 1080 monitor has the following symptoms :
It arcs about twice an hour, don't know where from or to.
( Videotaping the open back of the monitor didn't reveal it )
It's been doing this for months. He's tried blowing all
the dust out with a tool designed specifically for doing so,
but the problem persists.
Lately it's gotten worse : occasionally the "arc" shutsdown
the monitor : black screen, no power light. Power-cycling
the monitor brings it back. SOunds like some sort of
protection circuit is being kicked in.
Any solutions out there? How about corona dope : where
should we try putting it ? Should (can) we try lowering
the high-voltage voltage, which I assume is the problem ?
Thanx.
