Commodore 1084S monitor

I turned on my amiga today only to notice the screen didn't come on. A red LED came up above the power button, but not picture?

Is it yours and truly dead?

Any help in getting this working would be appreciated.


Many thanks

I'm determined to keep the monitor and get it repaired. Do you think it would be a costly process? Even if you say it could be the fly back transformer.

Also when I load a game up the sound works okay but just no picture :-(

As said above, but do also check if turning the picture width/height adjustments on the rear of the monitor have any effect. In my 1084S the V.HEIGHT potentiometer on the rear had a broken soldering causing the screen to be powered on but without any picture shown. Cracked solderings on the inputs can also cause blank screen so try fiddling the connectors while power on to see if there is any life.

 
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.

For some reason now the monitor works. I fiddled around with the cables at the back of the monitor, mainly the large round one which i believe is the power cable. And hey presto it works. Not sure why it stopped working a few days ago.
 
I suppose the only problem is how long will it last before it goes off again.
