In desparate need of a flyback for 1084S-D1! Please HELP!

[TakeShad]

Hi,

My 1084S-D1 died out after 20 years and I just need to get it back into action. I can't stand using my Amigas with any other monitor or TV that I can get a hold of.

Sadly, I can't get a hold of another 1084S as they are very rare in my country (Poland) now. My only hope is to fix mine but I need a new flyback for it. The replacment flyback for the orignal 1084S-D1's flyback (Daewoo DCF1580) is HR46045 which is hard to find at a reasonable price since it's old and many people take the price into the realm of absurdity.

Maybe someone will be able to help me out by offering a flyback for 1084S-D1 in a good price? I would pay via paypal.

Is there any reason you couldn't use one of these instead?

It would possibly be less than finding and shipping a flyback. And are you sure that's the problem. I know they do go bad, but I've seen other bad components make it appear to be a bad flyback. Of course if it's burned the case or motherboard, it's a good bet to be the flyback.

Edit: Yeah, my lucky 1300th post.

I hate the image that modern VGA and LCD monitors are displaying when I use Amigas with them. I just love the softness and the colors of 1084S and I really can't use my ammys without it. Besides, scandoublers are even more expensive than I thought they would be.

The problem is also that... I'm poor. I can't afford a £70-100 (plus shippping).

There's also the fact that I've been using my 1084S-D1 with a variety of retro stuff, like NES and C64. I have a whole retro corner that was plugged to 1084S and now that corner is dead with its center part gone... :CRY:

God, I'm in such a bad luck. Even the guy from Surplus Traders can't help me out! This is what he wrote to me:

Im sorry I do not have one...
I checked with all my sources.

:shocked:

I don't have a flyback.  It seems to me that if you are up to changing one out, you may be able to arrange some other solutions.

There were a number of monitors that would sync down to Amiga frequencies (15kHz ?).  I have seen them listed on the net.

The other computers you have connected to the 1084 are not using the analog RGB input.  They use color composite input.  There are many TVs with color composite input (stereo sound, too) available in Thrift shops since the HD standard has obsoleted them.

I understand Amiga video looks decent through S-video.  If you can find a TV with that input you can be back in business, perhaps with more options for display.

Yes, there are many workarounds but the best and the fastest way is to get a flyback or a new 1084S. That's why I'm here, begging for help.

If you live around the Chicagoland metropolis, I've got one: Come to my home in Indiana and bring $30 bucks cash and it's yours!

Where do you live?  I think I may have a 1080D-D1 kicking around.

As he mentions in his first post he lives in Poland, I assume he lives in Poland.  Last time I checked, Poland <> Chicago... :-)

Yes, I'm from Poland and that's the problem. I'm poor and we don't have many 1084S here. Even if I can find the flyback on ebay, the price of the shipping will be so high that it really doesn't pay off, so to speak.

I really need some help. Please guys, help me out if you can. All that I have to spend is 45$ so it must include shipping.

Did you check the solder joints on the flyback? I've seen a lot of 1084's fail because the joints to the circuit board open up. With the high frequencies in the flyback, it tends to vibrate & break the solder joints, which can just open up, or even arc & spark then burn up. It's worth a shot to touch up those solder joints & see what happens.

No, the flyback is dead. I have given the monitor to a service shop and I have been told that it's deadly dead. Nothing can be done with it. As for the link you've posted - it's a great shop and the price is excellent but do they accept paypal and do they ship overseas? :<

Surprisingly, hrshop.es doesn't have HR46045 any more but even if it was there - the price would be an overkill. The prices in that shop are ridiculously high.
