Pentranic VGA flat screen CRT control board query

Post by Moosebag »

Hi guys

I have the above monitor but it doesn’t have any kind of control board with it or manual.

I want to access the deeper screen options, size, positioning etc and I’m not sure how to go about it.

There’s a few pots on the board itself but I don’t want to blow anything by adjusting the wrong thing.

Are the screen options accessible on the main board or do I need a separate control board?

I can’t find a manual online anywhere.

The Pentranic monitor I have has a Rodotron / We-ya chassis on it.

Take a pic of the chassis. I'm sure people can identify it.

Does it have any sticker on the other side of the large heatsink? If it doesn't, see if it has a model or serial number on any of the edges of the PCB. Maybe a pic of the neckboard as well.

There’s very little in the way of identification that I can see. Unless I’m going blind!!

It has an OSD that's controlled by a wired remote.

Send them an email and ask for a manual and if they have the remote to sell to you. If they don't, ask for schematics. You can probably replace the remote with just some contact switches on a perfboard.
