The pincushion/hourglass control circuit just failed in my
Viewsonic 21 monitor. If anyone can suggest a fix I may
be able to rescue the monitor from the recycling bin.

TIA.

Capacitor failures (mostly dried out 'lytics) tend to be more gradual
than a sudden change. It's certainly worth checking the caps but keep
an open mind about other possibilites.

I've already replaced the monitor with an LCD. The failure took
about 10 minutes, from twitching to waviness to finally a total
hourglass shape.

Thanks for responding.
