Fatal error.. just killed a 1084 :-(

[Dragster]

Hi mates... well, I made a big mistake today...really BIG.

I was about to test an Amiga 2000, I'm not so used to it, I just got it a few days ago.. so i brought my old trusty C=1084 monitor and connected it the Amiga, however I was in front of the machine and I didn't realize that it had been connected to the serial port instead of the RGB on the machine!!! So, I turned the machine on and oops, I heard the sound of a small spark going in and I turned off everything off immediately... so there, I killed something inthe monitor's RGB logic... composite video works perfect but the rgb doesn't, when I connect the machine to the monitor (or another machine) it just shows lines everywhere..

So, I'm sure nobody has been stupid enough to make such a mig mistake but I was wondering if anybody ever went through something like this... any idea if this is something that can be fixed?

thanks...

Yeah, I have all my hopes on that... I downloaded all the diagrams I could find in the internet, I hope some good TV techie can fix it..

@Lemmink

Yeah, I managed to do that.. I was not looking at the ports when I connected the monitor, so I accidentally connected the cable to the serial port instead of the RGB... as for getting another monitor, well, as you say, postage could be the double the expense of repairing this one, besides this one still has great picture, and it's in very good overall condition, that's why I don't wanna let it die...
