sure not hit flip the 'service/normal' switch on the board next to the
connector. After this, the case should come almost completely away (the power
plug won't fit thru the hole, oh well).
Now you can locate the flyback. It's the largish component on the right side
(from the back) with a cable coming out of it leading to the CRT. Turn the
monitor upside down so you can see the solder side of the board. The flyback
has 10 connections arranged in a semicircle. Ground each one of the
connections to the nearby chassis frame (I just used a screwdriver, if you'd
like to avoid any scary snaps and pops, use like a 100k resistor). Go ahead
and resolder each of the 10 connections, making sure to do a clean job (any
solder bridges here could be fatal to your monitor).
Once you finish, put the case back on in the opposite order, being careful not
to try and force the 2 connectors the wrong way. You may want to try the
monitor to make sure its all okay before retightening the screws. If you turn
it on and the picture's just a horizontal line in the middle of the screen,
it means you bumped the service/normal switch I mentioned before, and you
should flip it back to 'normal' :)
After you do this, your RGB should be good-as-new.
