With the advent of LCD screens replacing the "old" CRT types, the repair and service of monitors has declined to such a degree that it has almost ceased to be. I get regular calls asking me if it is worth looking at their LCD monitor. My answer is always that it's worth a look. However even I have to admit that at the cheaper end of the market it would be easier and more logical to replace rather than repair.......BUT what about specialist areas like graphic design and CAD work? Any designer worth their salt would be either using high end LCDs or still using a high quality CRT monitor for mainly colour work as CRTs are still almost unmatched in this area(IMHO!).
So why use me to get your monitor repaired? A few years ago I made the decision to invest in the area of monitor repairs. My workshop has since been decked out with the best test equipment for this very purpose, mainly Sencore equipment imported for the USA(Thanks guys!!).
First of all we have the Sencore Computer Monitor Analyser CM2125 which has almost endless capabilites with regard to monitor repair. A full spec sheet can be seen
here.
Then we have one of workshop mainstays, the Sencore LC103 Capacitance and Inductor analyser which has served me well
and saved me countless hours of hair pulling. It has the capability of
testing Line output trasformers by using a patented "ringer" technology.
Full spec can be seen
here.So next time you are wondering if your monitor is worth looking at, gives these guys a run up and remember that estimates are free!!
Monitor Repairs.....are they worth a look?
