Tested an AES today and for some strange reason someone put 10v on the sync pin so now my monitor doesn't show any picture.
I hope this is an easy fix.
Is this just through the rgb inputs or all inputs?
I only tested the RGB one (DB25). It's a PVM 2530. I'll check the others.
S-video works fine. So I guess I need to open this thing up. Should I just recap it as well?
Only if you feel adventurous. It's a daunting task to recap a pvm. One more thing. When the rgb input blew, it took a few of the TTL chips with it so you may want to desolder some of them and check them if you have that function on your eprom reader.
A hackneyed attempt at having proper SCART autoswitching perhaps?why the fuck would someone do that, is there even a reason to want 10v on the av port?

When I opened the back of the PVM, that is a LOT of caps, fuck that...lol
Just tested the pulled TTLs and looks like the only one that went bad was the 74LS11 @2302.
The interesting thing is that the top right corner that had discoloration is now gone, too...lol
That sounds like a degauss issue. That should get fixed whenever you unplug and plug in the monitor (and turn it on).
