Pole Position Monitor FREQ Problem
« on: May 25, 2013, 05:03:22 PM »
Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my Pole Position Monitor.  Electrohome / Vicotr Chassis G07.

all my PCBs have a stable screen (even with defect PCB;-)



but my working PCB gives a running picture like this. looks like a 60hz screen an a 50Hz Monitor




I am not able to adjust the screen, but I found this in a manual:


My "Jumpers" are both the left position. Anyone knows if it is a solution to switch them to the right? I found nothing in den manual about positioning;-(

Try adjusting the horz. frequency. The tabs only move the picture position. It's unusual to have two identical boards where one syncs and the other doesn't. It's possible your working board has a fault in the sync?

Try toying with the HOR. FREQ potentiometer (it's in the manual piece you posted) and eventually with the VER. FREQ.

Got it:)

There was only a sync problem on the PCB.

The edge connector was the problem. Now I grab the sync direct from the PCB and evrything is fine;)

Time to replace your edge connector.
