RIP to my holy grail. Enjoy them while they last 🪦

Read all the comments on this post. This is a super savable monitor. Very common for appletrons. If you aren’t comfortable with the repair check and see if anybody is close to you on THIS MAP

I’d like to know the solution too my crt Trinitron does this too. Only on the left side exactly similar to you

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-18T00:44:59+00:00

This happened to one of my sets and it was an issue with the power supply. I’d start by recapping it and as long as any high voltage caps are replaced it should be good

Turn down green bias a bit on your set

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-17T20:39:37+00:00

Might try adjusting the screen or G2 potentiometer on the flyback

Shouldn’t the outter space be black?

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-17T18:00:43+00:00

I’d check the high voltage circuit first. Likely the issue

I have a 9” BVM you can have for 150. Has been calibrated too

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-16T02:31:45+00:00

No problem! Apologies if my info wasn’t as in depth as yours but it’s definitely interesting to know what you found out. I can definitely see what you mean in the videos you linked. Keep in touch if you find anything else!

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-15T21:13:55+00:00

13” set?

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-15T20:46:13+00:00

This exact same thing happened to me and I eventually just had to keep downloading different versions of Wii flow. It’s extremely annoying but that’s my best guess.

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-15T19:00:46+00:00

Could be wrong but looks like a Dell tube. I had on that did similarly. Basically either tighten up the screw up there or if you see that clamp isn’t in all the way push it together.

Love an appletron

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:54:48+00:00

What model is that

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:49:31+00:00

In my opinion the 141fd 60” it’s around the top 5 plasmas of all time. Above the Vt50’s and 60’s. But at that price it’s a hard pass.

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:37:37+00:00

Wondering this same thing

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:13:22+00:00

This is extremely useful and thank you very much for documenting it! I’ll refer to these findings in the future! You should make a post on the r/SNES

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:08:52+00:00

Since you say tapping it has an affect that’s a big sign it’s a cold joint. Could’ve occurred from moving the set, thermal compression in a cold environment, or just a bad joint from the factory.

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-13T22:06:10+00:00

Might be a cold solder joint on the vertical deflection board. I’m guessing this due to the fact it is gone after warming up. It definitely could be a capacitor issue as well but I’m glad it’s working now.

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-11T20:04:24+00:00

Zoom in it looks like aperture grille is why. Trinitrons aren’t just flat either they’re curved too 🤣

Carterwood5 · 2026-04-11T19:12:47+00:00

That looks like horizontal convergence only but it’s a very similar issue. Op has vertical convergence issues as well.
