Post by: jacquetp on August 14, 2004, 06:34:11 PM

Hello,

The monitor has no image on the disk, the screen monitor is yellow.
Whon can help me ?
I try to re-initialize (ctrl aa), but nothing...

Best regards.

Pierre.

If the screen is yellow you could try opening the A500 and press on every chip in there, as it can be caused by a loose chip.

Best of luck

If you are using a VGA-monitor, it is likely that your monitor cable is damaged. It happened to me once, with a yellow and somewhat distorted sceen as result.
