Ok so whilst a lot of that technical info went over my head the take away message for me is that it is likely that the monitor is stuffed
I think that the monitor is cga but you have me wondering. The pandora box has 3 settings and i left it on the 16khz setting as it was what gave me a recognisable picture up front.
The chassis has all the adjustments for the monitor annoying on the front, which means for me to adjust things id need to put my hands in across the live wires....something im not keen on. That said, based on the comments i feel like it might fix the v hold and the colours but there will still be problems.
I could find someone to pay to repair but i think this will be uneconomical and defeating the purpose of a cheap build! This being the case im leaning towards removing the monitor and replacing it with a computer monitor (pandora box has both vga and hdmi output as well).
I have a spare computer monitor so can hook that up outside the cab and see what it looks like.
The question ill have is replacing the monitor means a, dismantling the cab quite a bit (dammit) but more importantly removing the current monitor. I know ill need to discharge the monitor cos it stores electricity and i dont want a zap for my efforts....how long will it store electricity? I really am not looking forward to a zap!
