# I cleaned the green phosphor monitor and repaired the crack
2023-07-13
Cleaning and repairing a frame crack took a lot of time, but I'm happy with the result. I also closely inspected the capacitors and couldn't find anything unusual. The board looks like it just came out of the factory, but there is a strange smell coming from the monitor when it is on. I suppose I will have to wait until the mysterious capacitor begins to leak.
