The other day I left my xbox and XVGA2 connected to my atomiswave cab monitor. A few hours later I came back and the bottom half of the picture had a bunch of black lines that run across the screen. Now any time I try to run the cab the monitor has these lines and makes games unplayable. Any idea how I can get this fixed, or what could have caused this??

& very expensive....have you tried the adjustments at the back of your monitor?AlphaONE said:Getting replacement monitors for this thing
would be pretty hard huh?
Btw...its highly unlikely to be a dried capacitor...your cab is just too new.

I still stand by my answer of a bad cap...
Here is a picture of the problem...
Can anyone confirm if this is a monitor or a monitor chassis problem? Mr.Megalo pm'ed me and informed me that the AW cab uses a cheap weiya chassis that would not be very expensive to replace. I confirmed that it is a weiya chassis.
The problem does happen at all resolutions.

I would say it was a chassis problem.....that picture & the fuzzyness at the bottom happened to one of my hantrex monitors.....the flyback transformer was the fault 'LOPT'...it emmited a high pitched wine/ hiss too.whitey said:

Yep, board is screwed. You may be able to have the board fixed for as little as $39.99, if you can take it to P&L Video (in LA).

I don't think they work on japanese monitors. Most monitor places don't.

The chassis is really the only part of a monitor that usually goes out. you can always try though. I'd email them first or call them to make sure.AlphaONE said:
