killed 2 monitors in 2 weeks...
« on: December 18, 2007, 07:02:00 PM »
People be warned: That old stuff ain't getting any better...

My trustworthy Philips CM8833 blew up 2 weeks ago with a loud beeping noise. I replaced it with a CM8833-II. Now that one also passed away! All that's left for me is an old 1084s right now.

I am using the PAL HighRes Interlaced, 50 Hz / 15 kHz screen mode. Is this one "unhealthy" for the 108x type of monitors? Or was it just bad luck?

You can probably repair thoose monitors!

Maybe, but I don't have the time & knowledge. I also guess it's that transformer (whistling noise).

Maybe just a bad soldering at one of the transformers pins. Try it :-)


I already heard about that and tried it on the CM8833, waste of time... Dunno about the CM8833-II yet.

I could kick myself, sold an almost mint 1085s a few weeks ago because I thought 3 monitors is more than enough...  :roll:
