Hi,

I asked this allready twice, got some answers, tried out
some of the advice, but didn't solve the problem yet.
As there were lots of others with similiar problems, maybe
some of them managed to repair their monitors. Well:

I've got got a Sun Mono 19" Monitor, for the Sun 3/60 (-> ECL input),
manufactured by Phillips, Canada. It was build in 1990 (and should
not die so young !!!)

The monitor is flickering (getting dimmer/brighter in irregular periods).

I read, that people managed to repair the monitor by changing the tantal
capacitors, but mine got no tantal capacitors. I decided to change all 
bigger capacitors instead, but with no result so far. 

If the flyback transformator is bad, what replacement part could i use 
(product number of a different manufacturer, source in europe ?...)
How do i check, if it's the flyback transformator?

Any hints ?

Jan Timm
