Tilted my CRT and now the colors are messed up...

[Jawn]

Yep, it's doing like if I had a magnet close to it... it was fine and then I tilted it for about 30 secs, now it's all discolored. It is going to come back to it's normal state?

try to use the degauss option in your monitor... you will find it with a sign containing a magnet and a forbidden sign over it.

The degauss worked, thanks a lot.

As for that drill technique, kinda complicated.

That's the only problem with the CRT monitors, is having to degauss them often, I used to do mine every two days.

I assumed you'd tried the degaussing already, I was pitching it at a little too high a level
