I have had a vt52 terminal for the last 9 years and have had no trouble
with it. In the last few months, it has shown a tendency for the screen
not to work (i.e. I can type and the modem connected to it will
connect me to the places I dial, but nothing will appear on the screen).
I found that this would go away if I shut the terminal off anbd turned it
on again. A couple of weeks ago, even turning it on and off a few times
didn't work, but when I went away and tried it a few hours later, it
worked fine. Today, nothing seems to work.

I don't want to buy another terminal and I don't want to pay to have this
one fixed (which would probably be expensive) and I am just wondering
if there are some simple things to check that are typically the things that
go wrong with these terminals. I don't have a service manual for it and
don't know where to get one (free).

Any suggestions?
