Sharp Monitor Screen Burn

[TSORBER66]

Hi all,

I have a Nintendo Red Tent with major monitor burn. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it original, but these screens are bad. And last week something fried on one of them and I had to unplug it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think what fried may have been either a cap or something on the monitor board.

Thanks,

Tom

Some photos would probably help. that way we can look it over.

you can fix a lot of things on a monitor but screen burn is not one of them

if you see a ghost of the images on the screen when it is turned off then it's permanent. you must replace

if the glove does not fit, you must acquit
if the monitor is deface, you must replace

You can't do much of anything to fix screen-burn. Your options are living with it or replacing the tube. The monitors for the red tent can be hard to find but not impossible. you just gotta keep looking.

Just to clarify I meant photos of the board that fried not the monitor.

I have pretty bad screen burn on mine aswell.

As the Vs monitors are pretty hard to find, has anyone ever substituted them for another monitor, that is maybe easier to source?

it's fine, you can make it out a little on an all white screen, but when the game is playing you don't even notice it.

oh ya thats because the only things moving in pac-man/mrs.pac-man {or puck man over in japan} is the pac man/woman and the ghosts.
