-See Figure 6-7 and Figure 6-9.
-Meter the 3 video card grid test points
shown below.
Use the -150 V de meter
range.
Use a ground braid or the
brightness potentiometer plate as ground.
-With the brightness control set to
MINIMUM, the voltages on the test points
should be between
-50 V
dc and
-80 V
dc.
.With the control set to MAXIMUM, the test
point voltages should be between -20 V de
and
-60 V
dc.
