Title: Something incredible happened !!!
Post by: rednova on July 04, 2015, 11:23:26 PM
Hi :

Today, my mom asked me to move my amiga to a different place in my bedroom.
When I plugged my monitor cable back in the monitor (1084 s), I saw two slots
in the monitor for the cable, and I did not know which one was the right one.
So i took a chance and plugged the cable into the monitor without knowing
which one was the right one.
When I powered the amiga 2000 on, something incredible happened :
MY amiga display always looked like almost a monochromatic display,
but now , the display looks super, in full color and much better !!!
My guess is, I did not know which one was the slot for the amiga monitor,
so I was using my amiga with the wrong display, without knowing.
I am so impressed now, to see the full color display !!!
I thanked my mom very much, for asking me to move my amiga .

Also,
i do not know, but is possible the amiga monitor cable, was plugged into the right slot,
but not fully installed.
Anyways, the amiga display looks a million times better, with full color.
Thank you for reading !!!

If you thought you loved your Amiga before then load up a HAM image and you will be really impressed! Time to load up all those old programs and games to see what you have been missing all this time.

Congratulations!

Lovely story with a happy ending! But, I will say this; there's only one correct location for any Amiga, or Commodore - OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT! Yes, do make sure that there is no possibility of sun contact at any time of the day, and any season.

@duce

Yes, I believe the computer was plugged in the wrong spot all this time,
or either not completely plugged the right way.
I was very impressed to see the new display.

Forgive me if it's a mildly patronizing question, but how didn't it dawn on you that the display shouldn't look like a train accident in the making all this time and check to make sure if the machine was plugged together properly?

Not even sure how a machine would be usable or in the least bit satisfying to use in such a manner if the cable wasn't plugged into the right port or plugged in properly.

I don't see any picture in that particular comment, either.  Although if it's as bad as some of the other ones that've already been posted on this thread, maybe I'm just mentally blocking it out.  :p

It appears that this thread has thrown our respective DNS servers into an ontological disagreement.
Let's not push it too far, or the Internet might have a full-blown existential crisis.

Some additional info on the problem:

http://websupporter.net/blog/mobile-users-attention-editing-blogposts-from-mobile-can-inject-wrong-image-paths/

Something for the admins to look at (perhaps add these url prefixes/domains to a blacklist?) - can't see that it could be realistically solved at the client end either way (when posting, or when viewing).

Mobile phones: is there anything they can't break?

What is Radio Corporation of America?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA
 
 RCA Corporation, founded as the Radio Corporation of America, was an American (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) electronics company in existence from 1919[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA#cite_note-rca.com-2) to 1986 when General Electric (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric) took over the company in 1985[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA#cite_note-3) and split it up the following year
 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector
 
 The name "RCA" derives from the Radio Corporation of America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA), which introduced the design by the early 1940s for internal connection of the pickup to the chassis in home radio-phonograph consoles.
