Iiyama Vision master
Ok, I'm fine with the box, motherboards etc, but CRT monitors I have not had to do before.. 2nd machine has old but trusty Vision Master Pro 21", always been fine until... Makes appropriate sound on pressing switch, few seconds then second audible click from inside and - no picture.
Ideas anyone? yes I know, but it's a hassle to replace right now..

Don't you even think about unscrewing anything..... really, just don't ! Take my word for it, if you don't know the first thing about repairing CRTs, DIY learning is not the way to find out how to repair them !

Ah... just have 
. Found a link mentioning tube pcb fuse which goes regularly for no apparent reason; tested, that's the one, ordered, now where's the soldering iron again..
seriously thanks for the thought, but it is quite an old one and wasn't worth bothering the service desk for

Building tellies at school ???? I wish my parents had sent me to such an exciting educational establishment, I might have turned out a completely different person !
Well, good luck with your new monitor repair business, and don't forget to come back and tell us how you get on ..... if you're still alive !

My old science master built a TV from bits when he came back from WWII. 2.5" green picture. Open chassis, deadly EHT.
I went to visit him in recent years and reminded him that I'd given him five bob for the tube - a 4" electrostatic device.
'Yes', he said. 'We watched that for ages before we could get a new television...and for two years the picture was upside down.'

Frankie Boyle has a nice (apocryphal) story about John Logie Baird being a typical, dour Scotsman (read miserable s*d).
On being congratulated on his recent invention of television he grunted "Aye, but there's f**k-all on"!

I bought one of those Iiyama 21 inch jobbies. Warmed my study, it did!
Eventually I caught up with moderm tech and got an LCD monitor. The Iiyama went to elder daughter who still uses it and reckons it's the best monitor she's ever had. The cat sleeps on it cos it's warm. I dread to think what the fur and the lack of ventilation are doing to it, but far be it from me to say...
