Brownfield) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: Dead Mac Plus Screen Message-ID: <89228.113355GAB100@PSUVM> Date: 16 Aug 89 15:33:55 GMT Organization: Penn State University - Center for Academic Computing Lines: 21 Another problem from Happy Valley - after about 1/2 hour of use, my Mac Plus will start having video problems... the screen will just blank out. Tapping on the side of the machine will restore it temporarily, but after a few more minutes it will blink, but not restore. A friend with his now-upgraded Fat Mac had a similar problem, but he just replaced his entire vertical board. I can't afford that, and I have the advantage of a trained electrical technician as my best friend <-= Now, what we need to know is, what to fix?? We've checked and tightened all the grounds on the screen and the frame -- this seems to be a known problem, does anyone know where we should be looking before we go and replace every connector to the video tube?? Thanks for all your help out there.... -- G ------- George A.
