M1438S monitor to be used on PC
« on: July 25, 2004, 11:54:16 AM »
My M1438S monitor has a long-standing fault where it doesn't display the red channel all the time. Sometimes on, sometimes off. Its not a problem with the Amiga: I checked with an RF modulator.
So, I want to get it repaired. Now given that there are many nefarious types out there who may not do a good job, I thought to myself why not just get an adapter (if such a thing exists) so that I can use the M1438S on a PC, and then take it to a standard PC repair place? Does such an adapter exist (PC to Amiga Monitor?). If there is such an adapter, will the PC guys be able to repair it without having to worry that it is an Amiga monitor?

Any comments appreciated

@ Iggy: the red comes and goes, some times for a short time, some times for long. There's also some 'dulling' of the red sometimes. I haven't jolted the cable, but I'll get around to this when I have solved my CIA problem.

@ Bill: thanks for the link, I emailed them asking for an adapter or cable to allow me to use the 1438s on a PC.
