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
