Over the last couple of days the screen my faithful old Mac Plus
has started to jump and flicker rather badly. I recall from other
people's horror stories that the Mac has a failure mode where the
screen goes black with a narrow white stripe running up the middle
:-(skunk mode). Can anyone tell me what part is going bad, and
whether or not there is any advantage in getting it fixed before it
goes out altogether?
I know that SOP at most authorized Apple service centers is to
simply swap out the major components until the problem goes away,
and then charge poor sucker, er, valued customer, the full price of
the board. Can anyone recommend a shop in Southern California which
will fix a problem at a lower level (ie. less expensively) than this?
-Thanks for any help,
Bruce Florman
