Commodore 1084S monitor

I've heard that many 1084's can be brought back to life just by hitting the solder points with a hot gun and letting them reflow.  If you're lucky that's the case with yours.  Good luck!

You might want to hunt around for someone local who has an old one they can spare, and try to pick that up for cheap (at least to use for parts).  FYI these things don't seem to survive being shipped very well, hence the recommendation to look for a local seller.

IMHO people should really just junk all those old retro tube TV's/CRT's into the trash, and get themselves a nice LCD monitor, but I know that idea is shunned upon here at a.org.  *wink wink*  ;-)

I got the picture that he didn't open the monitor. To me it sounds like just a loose cable or intermittent connector. Power cable is the black thin cable, the big round one is the RGB cable.

Feel free to flame away, but if OP doesn't know the difference between the power cable and the RGB cable plugged into the back of his monitor, probably best not to give advice how to disassemble or work on the insides of one, LOL.    Oh well, glad it's working again!
