If I had a picture of the PCB I can spot the component, but if you look at the schematic that issue is in the vicinity of Q601, Q602, or Q607. Either that transistor is opening up and allowing full voltage through or the associated diode is doing so.It's every color which gets brighter. Everything. I can take some photos if you're interested in seeing. The effect is as if I turned every brightness knob/pot up to its fullest. (Except that, obviously, I'm not)
That pretty well guarantees that the problem is in the common cathode circuit, not the separate grid circuits. -michael NadaNet 3.0 for Apple II parallel computing! Home page: http://home.comcast.net/~mjmahon/ "The wastebasket is our most important design tool--and it's seriously underused."
