i opened my sony g520k can someone tell me where the pot is for g2?

ok thats what i figured. I do see two pots what are they for?There isn't a pot that controls it. It's micro-controller controlled.
Hey I've used the guide for my HP P1130 which worked when I chose SONY CPD G520 in WIndas.
ok thats what i figured. I do see two pots what are they for?
Also can i use windows 10 to interface with windas? i have the usb interface
and also have the color meter. Want ed to follow space diver tutorial but no faqs
You are maybe seeing pots related to horizontal pin cushion? (Invaluable when I first got an F520 and it came misaligned in that regard.)
The switches I think need to be updated. Instead of what the guide recommends, try this:Hey I've used the guide for my HP P1130 which worked when I chose SONY CPD G520 in WIndas.
Only Problem now with argyll on Win XP and Win 10 when I try the last step to lower gamma this one command there first the calibration in CMD works but then when it ususally should start the calibration I get errors something like access denied(is it in use?)
But it isn't in use checked everything so the problem must be from another nature.
Do you know about that Problem with the LUT Adjustment
Sadly it is still giving me the following errors:The switches I think need to be updated. Instead of what the guide recommends, try this:
dispcal -m -qm -J -F -G2.4 -f0
(u can use 2.2 instead of 2.4 if you want the image slightly lighter).
Let me know if that solves your problem.
I use a DTP94 and it is connected to main PC and the drivers I use are from argyll usb folder and HCFR worked fine with that.what colorimeter are you using? And did you use the drivers that come bundled with latest version of HCFR? (which should be same driver as latest version of argyllCMS).
(and this might sound like silly question, but did you plug in colorimeter to main pc when doing the argyll step?)
We have two (2) special rigs running Windows XP for WinDAS/WinCAT...are you using windows xp to do this? I have a color meter , what program am i using?
Correct!There isn't a pot that controls it. It's micro-controller controlled.
You've been told what to do. Perform a white point balance procedure. You've been told changing the G2 value manually is bad, just like messing randomly with values inside Windas.I am already past the inside of the monitor
what is the fix for excessive brightness at startup? Changing the drive or ABL? I will be testing again in a few hours, to see what warmup will be like , lowered g2 , four points
have inky blacks , great contrast and color. I am coming from calibrated OLED C9 , i1display pro pc monitors. Not too concerned about calibrating yet or checking it.

This is not an issue you can fix. It is feature to make monitor color-ready a bit faster. You know, instead of 1-5 min like on any other CRT it takes on these Trinitrons >30minwhat is the fix for excessive brightness at startup? Changing the drive or ABL?

It can't be of any harm, and he was explicitely wanting to change the G2 value so ...Does doing WPB affect in any way warm-up period?

On a G520 I'm not even sure there should be significant changes in brightness with warmup, it's not like that model had the same silly drift-correction trick that makes the screen brighter during warm-up on the FW900/G500 and clones.
Mine does the same and me lowering my G2 and calibrating it wont cure my issue . My CRT looks amazing after it warms up.My Viewsonic CRT takes about 15-20 mins to be fully on point. It’s sharp and bright so I don’t think it’s an aged component thing.
All that to say... it is what it is. This monitor doesn’t elevate the black levels initially though. The monitor literally gets brighter over time after power on.

Please contact me via PM when you can. Let's set up a call so we can have a full discussion as to the engineering and the why's of what many of us advised you to do...What is WPB?
Yes I am starting to believe this issue has to do with a certain capacitor possibly? This would make sense since my monitor looks awesome when warmed up after 30 min. I just do not remember this being an issue although it would seem many Sony CRT Trinitron monitors exhibit this issue even when brand new . Reviewing older posts over a decade ago photo , cad artists would wait 30 min to edit photos on these monitors. Maybe I am wrong idk
I changed the g2 from 108 default to 104 then to 100 and at 104 . At 104 it did not do anything during a cold start and at 100 g2 I would need to recalibrate . G2 at 104 though looked better at warm up vs 108 default G2 using nokia test suite and in games. I could push my blacks alittle better , but thats just me , i am sure it needs to be looked at on the colormeter. I own a 65" oled c9 and calibrate my pc monitors so what do i know. I just know this monitor likes to push a green hue , no horizontal lines though at warm up.

Not sure why people dont understand this, calibrating my monitor wont fix my cold start issue. I am starting to think a capcitor has lost capacitance somewhere on the board. Or it could be just aged parts? Or maybe someone can chime in that actually bought a sony CRT monitor brand new out of the box did it have to warm up?
Can you post a screencap of the command you're issuing, and the error you get?I use a DTP94 and it is connected to main PC and the drivers I use are from argyll usb folder and HCFR worked fine with that.
So yeah the argyll version is the latest and I got the drivers from there
That is the correct approach at first... If the issue still persists afterwards, then we will have to take a close look at the hardware and perform extensive tests in order to identify faulty components...
Hope this helps...
Sincerely,
Unkle Vito!
well after investigating my G2 level it is already at 108.
My main issue is warm up time, no horizontal lines and really not bad . After 25 -40 min everything is inky black and color and convergence is fine . I was wondering what you guys think could be the issue with the G520k ? Is there a part or resistor I can fix to help with the G2 issue during warmup?
What am i missing here?
Yeah, that was bizarre. Hard to believe an adult could be so insecure.Why are you being a huge cunt out of nowhere? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
So he has no clue what he's talking about, just because he wants to help in a PM instead of making redundant public posts? What a truly strange train of thought. I thought his offer to be more direct was rather generous. It's wacky to think someone would complain about it.obviously you have no clue or you would have mentioned a possible fix beside a over decade old fix tuning with windas. It is hardware related issue if the screen is perfectly fine after 30 min warmup. Doing a calibration is not going to fix it
You cannot even explain the reasoning how windas would fix the issue doing a calibration. The monitor has a green hue for 30 min and the calibration is fine. You might want to setup a conference call with your buds on this thread, since you think you are the expert of the sony crt how to replace certain caps or components to fix this common start up issue
no reason to setup a PM , you should discuss it here , its not a top secret issue . Alot of people have had this issue and no one on here can explain why. So unless you can explain the technical reasoning behind how a windas calibration will fix the 30 min green hue which in my case goes to inky black and perfect color , then you have no clue either.
?another useless post , obviously you are upset when you cannot provide anything meaningful to this discussion
Hue should not be green during warmup. It should be gray. Lower green bias or do WPB. Though how accurate WPB really is for calibration I am not sure because I never did it.The monitor has a green hue for 30 min and the calibration is fine.
Thanks looks like this is a common issue for Trinitrons and will re examine the caps on the board for anything that is out of spec. I have a tool to measure capacitance on the board. Monitor still looks amazing and will keep the G2 voltage at the same value until I feel necessary to perform a calibration in windas. I do not see any kind of green push that is out of spec when looking noikia test suiteIt's normal for trinitrons to be washed out until warmup. Every single FW900 i've used has had this "feature". My guess is that it's a crude attempt by Sony to compensate for a not-yet-warm-enough cathode.
I think this involves temporarily increasing the drive voltage until the cathode is warmed up. When that happens, the cathode is emissive enough that the target beam current can be achieved with normal (rather than the temporarily jacked up) voltages.
I can try this if you feel it might help. Can you tell me where this is located in the software? oh you never did it?Hue should not be green during warmup. It should be gray. Lower green bias or do WPB. Though how accurate WPB really is for calibration I am not sure because I never did it.

The issue of warmup period was raised. It was stated that otherwise picture is perfect. Warmup is known to be normal thing on Trinitrons. So why is there discussion about white point balance and faulty components?
