Monitor has no color?

[Sonnyrayj]

As stated in subject, I have a Hitachi monitor that has no color. K7500 chassis. I have done a little reflowing and repaired a few traces. I have never worked on a monitor before so complete newbie here. I have looked at how to check the transistors but still am confused on the correct way to do that. After going and buying me some more glasses so I could actually see I looked over the board and components again and found the flyback has a small crack right above the focus knob. Would that tell me that the flyback is absolutely bad and would it cause a no color issue or should I be focusing more on the caps and transistors first for the color issue. When I say no color I mean it's not just missing a color or 2 it displays in black and white. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to just be throwing money at it and my problem persist. Thanks

No color but a picture? Check the neck board, if the fly back is cracked you will hear a hiss or see arcing usually

Thanks for the reply. I have found a small crack above the focus knob but never seen arcing or heard hissing. I am not certain on the correct way to check the transistors with a multi meter. There were some loose solder joints but I repaired them and retried. I did have a clearer picture but still only black and white.

Any chance the red green and blue wires are tied together or somewhere in the chassis shorted together?

Will check. Thanks

Installed new c3782 transistors (that i didn't need and now understand how to check), glued pads back down and soldered everything up tight. Messed with color pots a little and was able to see all colors. Not exactly sure how to adjust but no matter how I adjust, it just floods the screen. There is no black back ground and then the color check bars showing up it just floods screen with color. Excited I did actually see something other than black and white but unsure of where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

problem is now fixed thanks to Security0001 on the arcademuseum forum. It was the R811 resistor. thanks for your help though
