Alright guys, I took a good look at the monitor today. I focused only on the neck board, I will check the chassis tomorrow if necessary. The smell of urine was coming from a 10uf 200V Rubycon cap, on the multimeter it tested 9.6uf, so it's borderline. Most caps seem to test a few uf higher than they are supposed to on my multimeter, this one didn't. It was not leaking or bulged. Maybe this is the cap that was causing the crappy image quality? I also found a resistor on the neck board that measure 10M, according to the service manual it should be 22M. Is it possible that this resistor is what caused the problem? I haven't found any other bad resistors on the neck board, so hopefully I can just change the bad one and swap the cap and I will get a decent picture. The neck board was pretty complicated, I hope I don't have to mess with anything on the rest of the chassis.
