Sobek) Newsgroups: comp.sys.atari.st Subject: Monitor Troubles Keywords: SM124, warm-up troubles, screen shakiness Message-ID: <257@laas.laas.fr> Date: 5 Dec 88 17:03:17 GMT Organization: LAAS-CNRS Toulouse France Lines: 21 Just the other day my monochrome SM124 monitor on my 1040 ST started waking up flakily! Upon turning on my system the monitor would present a shaky screen during boot which would last a few minutes and then go away. The shakiness was most visible around the edges. Is some part giving signs that it's wearing out? My monitor is not anymore under guarantee so any information that I could look at (I'm not a specialist, but my friends ...) would be appreciated. Even more astounding, these last 2 days the problem seems auto-magically to have disappeared. So what's up? As an aside, when I turn on my monitor I have these faint diagonal scan lines on my screen (what's the proper name for these lines?). They get fainter after awhile but never go entirely away. (They are faint enough so as not to interfere too seriously.) Anybody know what to do here? -- Ralph P.
