Another voodoo im repairing. To sum it up came hacked up with previous repair attempts. After fixing broken pins on chips it booted but has a blue tint, in 2d and 3d. Wiggling the vga cable would flicker more colors on but never perfect. After many inspections everything near the plugs looked fine. Since the tint is in 2d and 3d and wiggling the cable does produce a result the easiest thing to try is change the vga port. So I took out the old vga out and replaced with with another vga out I took from a broken kvm switch. Lucky it was a direct swap.
After soldering the new port in and cleaning up to my amazement I saw 2 line filters standing up being broken off on 1 side.
They must of been internally cracked previously or something, I guess blowing some hot air around to release the port on the way out made them stand up.
What is the best thing to replace them with? I guessed using straight wire should be fine for testing?
