[net.micro.cpm] Kaypro-II Video Problem - Anyone Else Have This Problem and a Fix?

ira@slovax.UUCP (Ira G. Chayut) (06/13/86)

I have an old Kaypro-II (with all the chips in sockets and without
graphics).  It just started doing something strange.  After a random
period of time from power-up the horizontal goes out on the video and
all I get is a line down the middle of the screen.  The rest of the unit
works OK.  

If anyone else has had this problem and can point me to the
transistor/transformer/etc. to change I would appreciate it.  (I tried
reseating all cables and checking for damaged or burned components -
nothing obvious so far).

Thanks.

I also have a veryyyyyyy old Kaypro II. I don't know exactly what
your problem is, maybe you need a televison repair man.

Or, try giving the folks at Micro Cornucopia a call:
