817.0. "DEAD 1224 Monitor!" by ACE::BREWER (John Brewer Component Engr. @ABO) Mon Apr 02 1990 23:20
I am another of thk Legions of Dead Color Monitor Owners.
My SC1224 died (for the third time) yesterday with what appears
to be a faulty power supply... no HV, no Power-on LED.
This thing died twice during warranty and this time its on my own
bucks. I have seen several mentions of likely culprits (Varistor?)
but this time it died without a whimper (or any smoke). I also read
about Gold Star monitors, but I have no idea how to determine this.
Does anyone have anyhints, schmatics, ideas on how to tell manufacturer
(or a used monocrome monitor for sale cheap?).
The only logo I see inside is a Hitachi label on the tube itself.
Looking inside one of these makes me pretty proud of the quality
of all the DEC monitors I have seen roll through here on the ABO
monitor line!
All help appreciated,
/john
PS: I wrote Atari Customer Satidfaction. Though it probably wont
help the monitor sutuation any, id DID make me feel better!
