Clicks in the monitor

From Nikolaj Amosov To All 21 June 2004

Greetings, All! In the monitor (cga Philips) today began to periodically appear clicks. At the same time, Scorp is overloaded. Both are grounded. What's there can it click and what could this mean for me? It will be very disappointing to be left without a monitor... [REAL ZX]

Obviously a spark breakdown. Remove the monitor cover and catch it in the dark moment of breakdown. If the tube breaks through the contact panel, you can try to cut out/cut out the broken section of plastic (not forgetting about safety precautions).

What's there NA> can click and what can this mean for me? NA> It will be very disappointing to be left without a monitor... Most likely TDKS. This black thing with a wire coming from it with Velcro to the kinescope. Replacing with a new one is pointless, because they are quite diverse, and therefore scarce, so that the price is the same as a used monitor. :( Actually the main thing The purpose of this thing is high voltage. I don't recommend it leaving such a monitor on, unattended - may catch fire. Yes, and if you “sniff out” where it clicks, then keep in mind that she not only breaks through inside herself (usually), but and outwards at a distance of 5 cm, it can easily hit - I saw it myself, so don't bring your face too close.

Hello Nikolaj! I am responding to your letter dated June 21, 2004, then written by Nikolaj Amosov to All, and then it was 22:22:09 on the clock. NA> Today they started appearing periodically in the monitor (cga Philips) NA> clicks. At the same time, Scorp is overloaded. Both are grounded. What's there NA> can click and what can this mean for me? A high-willed breakdown of something. Often occurs due to the fact that dust accumulates in the monica, which promotes spark jumping. It may also be due to the fact that some contacts have separated, oxidized, etc. NA> It will be very disappointing to be left without a monitor... Or maybe the first sign of the end :-) SO you have every chance of being left without Monica. All the best, Alexander.

Don't slaughter the cash cow that lays golden eggs, Nikolaj...! 23 Jun 04 22:19, Nikolaj Amosov -> Aleksandr Majorov: NA> What’s interesting is that after warming up, in a few minutes, NA> stops piercing. After the tube warms up, its anode current appears, which causes some a decrease in the anode voltage, this is how it should be.

AM>> Often occurs due to the fact that it accumulates in the monica AM>> dust that AM>> promotes spark jumping. NA> What’s interesting is that after warming up, in a few minutes, NA> stops punching. I'll take a look inside this weekend... Today I took off the protective screen, unscrewed the back cover, turned on mon and moved away so as not to kill him. I wait five minutes - nothing doesn't click. Strange, usually in the first three minutes six times clicks. Okay, turned off the monitor, waited a few minutes until the charge drained, I went to see where the dust had accumulated. It turns out there is almost no dust - I installed the monitor half a year ago I cleaned it when I brought it home. Just in case, I wiped it with a cloth. everything I could get my hands on. Turned it on - it works. Turned it off screwed the back cover into place, put on the protective screen, turned on and then it clicked. It got interesting. Removed the protective screen - the clicking stopped. Put it on - the spec immediately rebooted. Then I remembered how it all started - I bought a surge protector and Speck became grounded. The protective screen is attached with a wire to the power supply housing. But why do the clicks come from, because the monitor is turned on through the same blockpower supply with a normal three-pin wire and therefore already grounded. In general, when I turn on the monitor, I take pictures for a few minutes protective screen from the monitor... [REAL ZX]

IMHO nowhere, in houses most often there is no such thing as grounding. So your monique and power supply spec "earth" are turned on together and not anywhere grounded. The fact that Speck rebooted is proof, there is static :) My advice to you is either do normal grounding, or do it as it was. Otherwise you're taking a risk :) All the best, Alexander.

Well, I don’t know, at least the computer cases give you an electric shock stopped after such grounding. Half-phase does not hang on the body - pointed with the tester.

It hits the screen from the kinescope. As for the rebooting Spectrum, the answer is generally the same -- SHOW THE CURRENT PATH. And ground equipment isolated from objects environment, you can even go to the nearest cactus, it also helps against radiation...

Otherwise you're taking a risk :) NA> Yes, I’ll probably return the old two-pin power cord to Spec... You need to properly route the common wire inside the Spectrum. The general principle is that everything is connected at one point, in the power supply. And two different black wires coming out of the power supply are not the same “ground”, like the two red ones, are not the same 5 volts. And understand that the “ground” in the cable to the monitor is not “ground” at all, and the current return is for the signal conductors, and nothing more. Same This also applies to audio. To be absolutely sure of this, I advise take a thick wire and directly connect the monitor body to Spectrum power supply, at the same point where the screen is connected.

I even disconnected the ground wire protective screen from the computer case - no effect. I don’t even know what to do now. [REAL ZX]

Try turning the power plug on your computer or Monica, sometimes, for some reason, there is a difference in the “polarity” of the inclusion in 220. Well, maybe, after all, Monique began to die... All the best, Alexander.

I just solved the problem differently - simply disconnected monitor from a computer power supply and connected separately two-wire cable to the socket. Grounding the protective shield left. I think there is something wrong with the grounding in the monitor.... AM> Well, maybe, after all, Monique began to die... Ugh (3 times). [REAL ZX]
