Name that malfunction! (audible monitor problem)
« on: May 12, 2003, 07:28:56 AM »
Hey guys- after just having sourced a new power supply for my A500 (thanks again for your advice!)... my beloved 1084s monitor has decided to throw a tanty.

The original transformer was changed about 2 years ago at great expense... so it has better not be that. (original transformer replaced with Philips component)  Everything else in the monitor is the same as it was in 1991.

When I turn it on, the power light goes on for a second or 2 as normal, then this noise starts and the power light flickers in sync... (no image on screen... not even illuminated blank)


have a listen if you like: http://www.users.on.net/aquarius/data/poor_1084s.mp3

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

RW

I'm not going to give up on my monitor after all these years!! I use it as my TV mostly,... which still manages to `wow' a lot of people.

What is a flyback?  I did open it up the other day... but I couldn't see anything that looked broken... would a regular TV techie be able to fix it?

If not- anyone know an Amiga fixer in Melbourne?

Cheers,

RW

Very kind of you, but I think the shipping would be too expensive!

Thanks anyway mate ;)
