Recently obtained Compaq P1100 21"
Hi all. I stumbled across the thread about the brightness issue with monitors and have found it to be a useful resource. I have the same issue(s) with my P1100, too bright, and I have diagonal white lines on the screen.
However, I opened the monitor up last night, expecting to find the "screen" adjustment screw on the flyback transformer. What I found was two plastic adjustment screws, one marked "1" and second marked "2" with "FOCUS" written in between the two. Both only adjusted the focus on the monitor.
Am I missing something? Should there be an adjustment for brightness/screen somewhere? Am I best to take it into a TV repair guy?
TIA

Thank you. But do you mean either using the DAS software or the resistor method? I was leaning towards simply adjusting what is already there within. Unless there is some pots on one of the boards that I just didn't see.
Do you suggest that I use the resistor method first and foremost?

Found one I didn't see, this answers for the P1100 specifically.
So I shall try the resistor method!

Wow, hard to find just a single 5.6 Mohm resistor. Contacted one company, and they had a minimum $40 order required. (just to get a $3.00 part, ugh)
