25" Hantarex Polo Arcade Monitor Repair - 'Ghosting' Image Solution

[@phils_arcade]

That's one repair I'd have spent probably days looking for, lol. Nice job. Plenty of Hantarex Polos over this side of the pond.

Smeggin awesome documentation sir !

Good info. Thanks!

Mike please be careful with polishing tempered glass, it almost always implodes. It has to be perfectly cooled and lubricated with water and even then it will still implode. If you have some coating that fills the cracks that might work

These polos have excellent pic quality

I have the exact same problem but its waaaay worse ghost boxing over everything, but im also getting some curling on the top left of the image as well so going to check that and see what happens

[@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair]

Curling at the top is an H.Hold/H.Phase adjustment issue.

[@rocket558]

Thanks ill check that too

Hi. I wondering if you would be able to help me. I have the exact same problem on my Hantarex Polo 28. Possibly the ghosting is a little worse on my monitor. I also have the colour and brightness being darker to the left-hand gradually getting brighter towards the right, same as yours. I have tried replacing resister R36 with no success. Is there any other resistor/part I can check or change. I wish I could just buy a working neck board, but I am unable to locate any here in the UK using the usual forums and sites. Many thanks in advance and thank you for all the informative videos.

Just curious why didn't you just use the spare instead of removing just the resistor? Thanks for these video super interesting, and it look a little dangerous as well.

I have a similar issue on my polo, but instead of horizontal ghosting the left two inches of my screen is just significantly brighter. Enough that it’s showing the raster lines, but has a similar ghosting look. Do you thinks it’s the same R36 issue you had?

[@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair]

I would suspect the flyback based on your description.

[@TheHighlander71]

someone could be searching for that resistor problem for a looong time

[@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair]

Looks like your sync wire came off

[@JOELY79]

@@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair I've just had a look and the sync wires from the harness going to the chassis all look to be in place its stumped me not sure what's going on 🤕sadly living here in the UK there's nowhere that really repairs them either 🤥
