Best Answer

A cathode ray tube typically is not repairable. It is like a light bulb in that the filament may fail. If that happens, you are out of luck. If the picture is dim, a transformer used to be available from Radio Shack and other electronics suppliers, that will boost the filament voltage and increase the brightness of the picture temporarly. That is the only "repair" possible other then replacement. If you are sure the problem is a bad CRT and you have a black screen..you are out of luck for repair...

What does cathode ray tube mean?

A cathode ray tube is what was used in televisions and computer monitors before the advent of the LCD, LED, and Plasma tv screens. They are big, bulky, and very heavy. They are a vacuum tube, with an approximately flat face, on the inner surface of which is deposited a phosphor. When electrons from the cathode asembly reach the phosphor, they cause it to glow at that spot.

What technology is used in the original-style monitor?

Lcd ***************************************** Older monitors (original-style?) used cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, were heavy, and took up a lot of desk-space.


What is horizontal and vertical amplifier in cathode ray oscilloscope?

The horizontal and vertical amplifier in the cathode-ray oscilloscope are deflection plates. The horizontal amplifier causes the beam to be deflected horizontally at a rate that is uniform. The vertical amplifier causes the beam to deflect vertically.


What is cathode ray tube color display?

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors were a type of display system, often used for both computers and televisions. CRT monitors are generally those "fat monitors" that you may have seen before (and might be using one right now). CRT is becoming deprecated with the newer method of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), the method behind "thin" monitors and most of the newer television sets (however, some of the newer television sets use methods similar to LCD but not exactly the same - e.g. Plasma screens and Light Emitting Diode displays)

What is the negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube?

The negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is the cathode. The tube is a cathode ray tube, and electrons stream off the cathode, are accelerated across the evacuated space and "directed" either electromagnetically or electrostatically, and then strike the phosphor coating on the positively charged anode at a "location" determined by the "directing" elements.
