I do agree with Geoff, there is obviously common factor here, and it is most likely to be the video board, the ECK is probably fed into that as well as the scan image.

As Geoff said, can you give any more information as to what the 'distortion' looks like? A photo would be great, but I realise that might not be possible. Maybe even some sort of 'drawing' done with Paint or other drawing program.

Another thought...have the monitors got termination on/off switches (could be labelled 75R)? If so, try changing the position of them.

I expect that Roman has to make a trip out to the site to work on this unit, Tony. But (and here's another general rule) I'm sure you will agree that it's always nice to first establish the history of a fault like this (or any other, really). Questions like:-

1) How long ago did it stop working properly?
2) How did the fault occur (how was the unit being used at the time)?
3) Was there any (burning) smell ... etc., etc.

And, perhaps:-

1) Was it working OK before you (the user) spilled coffee down the back of it? wink

Also relevant where you guys are:-

1) Did the electricity fail during the use of the unit?
2) Was it OK just before that happened?
3) Was it raining at the time?
4) ... etc.

Very often, a bit of "gentle prompting" can save hours of fault finding time! smile

I agree 100% grin The more clues the better!

BTW We have a Sonoline SL4 here, single monitor though, and a bit more modern looking. (We've also got a nice portable colour unit that was donated by the manufacturer only one year ago)!

Roman, have you repaired this machine now? If yes, what was the problem? If no, do you need any more help or suggestions?
