Re: WG6100 X is wacky

Hi Jim!

While not a guru in this area, I would first recommend that you UNPLUG
the monitor for further tests! You will need a scope to find your
problem until you get the outputs (X & Y) down to a more consistent
level. I would also flip the "Test" switch so you get a steady signal,
then take a look with the scope. Have you checked your power supply for
steady +5VDCD? and are the other voltages good on the logic board?
