    Nothing to note with the noise filter other then the overall looseness that I noticed to the case of the monitor. I took some Deoxit and cleaned the connectors to the socketed connections and the contacts on the G-board circled (very carefully). I decided to also add a couple of nuts on the...

    Gotta love image rotation. Let me know if there is any area I should focus on. I circled a wierd spot on the bottom of the board that looked like it was missing a bit of solder.

    Any cable I have sits fairly loose in the connector sadly, the socket seems pretty worn. Maybe that could be part of the issue? I'll let it discharge today and pull the covers off for a closer look. I've had the thing apart to dust it out over the years but I'm always scared that this thing is...

    I am having a bad day. After having my upstairs A/C unit fail during the summer in Houston my beloved FW900 will intermittently dim and brighten while being used. It usually takes a bit of time before it starts and seems to correct itself if you tap the side of the case or manipulate the power...

    Yeah. Everything acts normally but in the early span of warming it makes a click like you would hear on output resolution change and things get blurry. It will always turn on normally but it just will act up within first 20 mins or so if/when it does.

    On warmup on occasion will make a faint degauss noise and will cause a loss of focus untill monitor is turned off and back on. If it does not act up like this there are are no real issues and it performs amazingly. Pic below is it running 2560x1600 @76hz through some nice bnc.

    So my unit after 5 years is intermittently losing focus on warmup every few days, pretty certain the FBT is on the way out. I am really having trouble finding one as it is has been NLA for years. If anyone knows where to get one let me know. Thanks. Part Number 1-453-348-11 Description Fbt...

    Is there any way to restore the formatting in the dat file? I have the original but it changed like you said.

    I think I messed things up in the dat formatting because this version of windows no longer has cmd edit function. Gosh I hope somebody has the default values saved or else I am screwed. GDM-FW900 3536.mdl G1W.std =REG 149 0 0 210 0 0...
