i had an amiga monitor that quit working after 4 years of being on, so i took it apart and tried to fix it. it turns out that a strange looking temperature sensitive resister thing went bad. this is wat it was for: when the computer is turned on, the resistor is cold, so it lets lots of current go through a coil that is in front of the crt. after 1 sec, it gets hot, and the current shrinks, and it demagnitizes the metal chunks around the crt. the resistor was shorting, so i got rid of it. but now, the screen is a bunch of strange collors. how could i make it good again? also there is quite a big scratch on the screen. is it possable to fix it? thank you in advance for sugestions. gwoho liu.
