I've been having a problem with my RGB monitor for my IIGS which I haven't seen on others. When I have my computer on for a while, and then turn it off by the power switch, I can't use it again for at least a half-hour or more because when I turn it on again, the monitor doesn't work properly-- there are jagged lines running across the screen. After a while it will work again, but needless to say it is not nice to have to wait more than 1/2 hour if I forgot to do something! Thanks for any help... -- Jeff Hartkopf

Thanks for any help... > -- Jeff Hartkopf A friend of mine had a similar problem which turned out to be the RAM card he was using. I believe it was the RamPack 4, but I can't remember the company which manufactured the card. If you have a way to verify the card, such as running it on another machine, I would suggest you do so.

I have seen this happen before on the RGB's, Just adjust the horizontal hold on the back of the monitor more to the middle of the screen and it should solve your problems. -- InterNet: hentosh@amethyst.bucknell.edu | 'Ever have deja vu and amnesia BITNET : hentoshr@bknlvms.bitnet | at the same time?'

Turned the computer off and back on and the monitor went crazy. Though something was fried in the computer but decided to check the monitor. Lucky for me, I probably saved myself a $200+ motherboard swap (but thats another story :-) ).

This might not be the problem, but something similar can happen if your horizontal hold adjustment on the back of the monitor is borderline...Find the horizontal hold knob and try adjusting it until you get a picture. If you don't, then that wasn't the problem! :) Sometimes it happens to my monitor. Dave Seah (dseah@wpi.wpi.edu)
