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?  Scratch Head  Thanks..  Wish there was a "Degauss" button, sigh...

Monitor boards have a built-in degausing circuit activated every time the set turns on. 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

Cool, soldering gun trick worked!  I tried that after turning it on/off a few times with no luck.  Great tip, Thanks!  applause

Not sure about the smaller audio tape one... but the big video eraser should.

My dad has an old Radio Shack tape eraser that looks like this, I believe:



I loaned to a friend once and he said it worked well for him to degauss an arcade game monitor.

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