1950 monitor quirks

[jnordness]

Yesterday my 1950 monitor came in the mail. When I plugged it into my computer to test it out, it worked fine for a few minutes. It flickered a couple of times, then completely cut out, ie the power was on, but no signal. Today I tried it again. It flickered a couple of times when I first turned it on, but worked for the bios screen for the few minutes I had it on. I am kind of worried my 'new' monitor is on the verge of something bad. Could someone help me diagnose the problem?

My old 1950 monitor used to do that.  Bloody annoying.  General consensus was that it was a bad solder joint that was causing it.  I searched around in there and re-heated a lot of points, but never quite got the right one, though.  

I finally turned it over to a local Amiga shop (this was back 10 years ago) and they tried their hand at fixing it.  They failed.  They had it sitting in the back for a week or two while waiting for another technician they knew who was coming in to town.  One day it completely disappeared from their store.  Wonder if you ended up with it after all these years!  :lol:

[The store ended up giving me store credit for it, and I ended up picking up an old(!!) Sony Trinitron MultiSync.]

Well, reading amiga-hardware.com, they say, "A sync problem may be caused by the monitor detecting sync on the Green input and then disabling the horizontal and vertical sync inputs. Removing the 10K R854 resistor or the 10uf C812 capacitor on the small vertical board may fix this." I wonder if this is my problem. I would hate to spend more money on it though. I got it because it was cheaper than a scandoubler...
