Title: Uh oh, what did I do Post by: moogrum on August 02, 2014, 02:53:13 pm I think I messed something up on my monitor while playing around in my machine. It used to make a really high pitched sound when it worked and now it makes more of like a hissing sound and the screen is all grabled like the sync signal is spitting out garbage. It's a WG k7400. Any idea where to start? This is my first monitor issue.

glad you got it fixed! does it still make a high pitched sound? if so, could be the voltage too high or too low. Title: Re: Uh oh, what did I do Post by: moogrum on August 02, 2014, 09:38:46 pm You know, I think that high pitched noise is just an artifact of it being a 15khz monitor. Humans can hear up to 20 khz, and this sounds just below the range of human hearing. I think it probably is present in every monitor? I'm sure it'll be insignificant when I finally put the back door on again, it was just one difference I noticed at the time.

Title: Re: Uh oh, what did I do Post by: TimeRunner on August 06, 2014, 12:18:51 pm When a CGA type CRT isn't receiving any signal you'll hear a high-pitched whine as there is no sync to latch onto. Pretty normal.
You won't hear the whine if you've been to more than one Slayer concert, however.

I've been to slayer concerts.. my hearing sucks Title: Re: Uh oh, what did I do Post by: TimeRunner on August 11, 2014, 07:43:32 pm I went to a Marilyn Manson / Slayer concert. Slayer opened and was basically unintelligible due to the volume. Manson was half as loud although I couldn't hear everything over the damn Slayer ear ringing. Good times. Beer helped.
