Title: How do I Degauss a Tatung VS14428 monitor? Post by: rilaw on February 27, 2011, 11:15:41 PM My Gamemaker's monitor burnt up bad, so I grabbed another through a vendor (Used). This one works, but has a big pink glob in the lower right corner like a magnet was close to it. Sooo, how do I go about clearing this thing up? :103- Thanks.. Wish there was a "Degauss" button, sigh...

Turn it on and off several times for real problem areas. With a big spot in the corner there's a chance the shadow mask was damaged in shipping, in which case there's no fixing it. If you have a tv repair shop close they may have a degausing coil they'd let you borrow for the 60 seconds it takes to manually degaus a tube. Anyway, this is what I know

Not sure about the smaller audio tape one... but the big video eraser should. Title: Re: How do I Degauss a Tatung VS14428 monitor? Post by: knagl on March 17, 2011, 07:01:34 PM My dad has an old Radio Shack tape eraser that looks like this, I believe:

That one is the big video eraser. They make a smaller one for audio cassette tapes. |
