Problems with Star Wars monitor, need help!

[Belike]

Mybe it's a noob question, but this happened to my Star Wars Trilogy cabinet's monitor:
It was turned on, my 6 years old nephew played with it and there was a short circuit somewhere in my house, so I have to switch back the fuses to bring back electricity.
When it started to work again, colours was very strange, a lot of them was turned to purple(yellows mostly)


 
Is it rubbish or could be fixed somehow?
Thanks in advance.

It is just magnetized. Check if the degauss of the monitor is connected and working. To me it looks like it just need a good degauss. If the degauss system of the monitor is working, switch it on and off a few times at 15 seconds intervals and it should be OK. If not, you need to find an external degauss and use it on the monitor.

Don't think the 15 seconds intervals will be long enough. The PTC won't have cooled down in that period of time.

But this will go away after a week or so, turning it on once in a while (2x a day or something like that).

You didn't move the cab while it was running by any chance ? Often this is the cause for this happening...

Thanks for your help, I'm really happy, that I don't have to look for a new monitor.
And Andre, I didn't move the cabinet since I bought it about a month ago.

OK, well it must have been the power dip then...

By the way, at first instance I thought it was about a Atari VECTOR monitor because you mentioned SW
