My old C2080 (high resolution, slow phosphore) monitor gave good service, no flicker interlaced and just push a button to get video from my DCtv unit. Sadly, it is shutting down when it gets warm. If I bang on the side or tilt it forward, it lights up again. I watched it shut down (with crackling sound effects) with the cover off, and discovered that the problem is that the heater filiment in the CRT goes off. I assumed that this was classic cold solder symptoms and resoldered everything I could reach. Still happens. So.. Could this be a symptom of the filiment in the tube having a break (presumably unfixable)? If so, how do I come close to matching the functionality of the C2080?
