Iiyama Monitor Model: Vision Mas ter 17 (8617E Chassis )
Horizontal dark line across screen shadowing text or other complex display data giving appearance of 3D grooves or just dark lines on light background - temp fix
(few minutes) by banging monitor or jiggling the video cable (thats what threw me
for a while)
Removed tube base board and ran over disc capacitors and other solder joints whether they
looked dry or not. No re-occurence in 2 weeks of daily use. Seems to have fixed it. (Be
prepared for a lot of metalwork and screw removal when opening one of these up - I still
havn't figured out how to get the PSU/main board out of one !)

Philips Monitor Model: 105S
Fuse blown, not functioning
Replaced 3.15A AS fuse. Conclusion, fuses suffer from metal fatigue and fail without a serious
fault being present. Constant inrush currents of 10A and degauss of similar level at switch on
cause this progressive failure mode. Fuse is hard wired
(Mike - UK)
Hansol Monitor Model: 710A (Als o Belinea 103055 Chassis )

Monitor repair tips
A common fault on these monitors is flickering lines about an inch or two from the
bottom of the screen
The solution to this is very simple. The heat produced by the frame I.Cs heatsink destroys
C313. Replace this on the underside of the pcb along with R308 (2.2ohms) which will also be
open circuit
