wanted 1200

[ZeBeeDee]

Pop over to Ebay and buy a Amiga compatible monitor and connecing lead.

Ebay member airey36 usually has 1 or 2 ... if not, ask him because he might have some not yet listed :-)

Ahhh ... have you checked the actual cable itself?

Then I'm leaning towards a faulty monitor ... could be wrong though.

Can you test the A1200 on a tv?

[ZeBeeDee]

hmmm sounds like the A1200 is biting the big one ... time for a scout around for a replacement.

Again, ebay would be your best bet.

[ZeBeeDee]

I've not the experience for such a task ... I personally would just go hunt out a working A1200

Just a thought ...

If you can manage to get into Workbench, you might want to check you're in the right screenmode and not some custom or interlace mode which might also be a cause of the problem.

Chances are then, Workbench is in the wrong screenmode for the genuine monitor.

Have a read on the original specifications for the 1084s (which I presume you have going by previous posts) here:
