All,
I was wondering.. I'm having some discoloration issues with my Zenith monitor (I'm not sure of the model) and was wondering how to degauss it. On the monitor chassis pcb, there's a two-prong connector that says "D. Coil" .. it is connected with a two-wire cable up to the side of the cabinet. From there, a long bundle of wires wrapped in what looks like black electrical tape or something similar runs all the way around the outside of the monitor frame. It doesn't actually touch the monitor.. but it runs all the way around the edge.
On the chassis pcb, I do not see any sort of button or something that actually activates the degaussing. Does this sound like something that would run all the time? Or would there be a button lurking around somewhere that activates it?
Some rather poor quality images follow:
This first picture shows a red cable (the one all the way in the back) connecting to the chassis pcb:
This next shot shows that same red cable running to the side of the monitor where it connects to the long black-wrapped cable that runs all the way around the monitor:
So.. any ideas on how to degauss this beast? Hope its something easy. I've already shocked myself once tonight.. don't think I want to do that again anytime soon.
