Troubleshooting

This section may help you find the cause of a problem so you can solve the problem
yourself.
If thin lines appear on your screen (damper
wires)
The lines you may be seeing on your screen are normal for the Trinitron monitor and are
not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires that stabilize the aperture
grille.
They are most noticeable when the screen's background is light (usually white). The aper-
ture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing
more light to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
