Well, if you arent already dead, or severely injured, then I suggest you put that lid right back on NOW, if you dont know what trims are or how to calibrate it prooperly, before you really do some damage to yourself.

I know from experience there is a hell of a lot of stored voltage in that HT and the capacitors around it.

There is a tool, that looks like a big knitting needle (about 3 cms wide) fully insulated with a large guage wire, and a really beefy crocodile clip, when you get one, read the info that comes with it.

WARNING: even with the use of this tool (it will make a very loud crack as you earth out the capacitors) you can STILL endanger yourself, use extreme caution when repairing monitors, the dangers are very hard to see.

Good luck.


ps, seeing double ? you mean ghosting ?
