Okay i will give that a go. I have phoned up a few places that deal with repairs on CRTdisplays. I got one quote saying £155. I do think that is a bit steap to be honest. Ive seen a commodore 1960 multi sync monitor in good condition. Would anyone know if these monitors are any good?
Also does it come with built in speakers?
thanks.
Hello mate, my Philips CM 8833 died earlier this year. AFAIK it's a 1084 with a Philips badge on with slightly different cosmetics. The fault was that I got a power light but no picture or whistle, and something in there was making a square wave or triange wave sort of tone/beep. Anyway....I got mine repaired for £70 at my local TV repair shop and I'm pleased to say he did a really good job, and the picture is better than ever since I got it back.
It was the Flyback Transformer, aka Line Output Transformer (LOPT) which was kaput. He sourced a new LOPT and charged me £25 for the part, and £45 labour.
I'll type out what I see on the box (I kept it!):

Where abouts are you? I'm in north Nottinghamshire.
