after my berzerk restoration the monitor had developed some kind of discoloring on the right hand side of the screen
in order to tackle that problem, i ordered (with the help from you guys) "something" from hong kong which arrived shortly afterwards
let's check the customs declaration form to find out what could be inside
and here it is, the new addition to my tool collection: a tv degaussing coil. as you can see, it has a strange plug attached!
the company added an adapter for the plug to the package, but i still don't know how this is supposed fit into german wall sockets
let's check the instructions
fortunately, i had a fitting adapter at home, BUT once i plugged in the degausser with the adapter attached, the coil developed a serious heat problem. it got hotter and hotter up to a point where the plastic started to melt and where it was almost impossible to hold on to the coil!
the item description stated that the coil is set for 230 volts, but it looks as if a 110v tool is being fed with way too much power - or am i doing something wrong here? i've already contacted the company and they said i could have a replacement coil or a different item for the same price for free! let's see ...
anyway, regarding that screen discoloration problem, here are the results after using the "wand from hell"
