| 97034 | 2002-11-07 23:08:00 | Im having a problem when i start up my computer from off neither the text or graphics are blury but after about 5min the screen goes blury. When i turn my screen off and back on again it is not bury for about half a sec and then it goes blury again this also happens when i restart again. im prity sure it is a hardware problem because when i restart the post test appears blury. i was just wondering if anyone knows if i am dealing with a graphics card or a monitor problem or maybe even something else. Any help would be aprecieated. | mcatley (662) | ||

| 97036 | 2002-11-07 23:40:00 | Its most likely to be a monitor problem, and related to focus. How old is the system? The symptoms suggest a fault, as it sounds like its only when the monitor has warmed up its a problem. You may be best getting it serviced. There are very high voltages involved in that area, so be careful should you decide to play! (25,000 volts) If you could adjust the monitor so it was OK when warm, it would be blurry while warming up of course. There is often a focus adjustment but many are only accessible with the cover off. They are in the vicinity of the EHT tripler transformer. |
