I am not sure this is the right group to ask the following question. If not, suggestion for any other group will be very much appreciated. The monitor (Princeton MAX-12) of my IBM-XT compatible is not working right. Everytime I turn the computer on, the monitor works for about 3-5 minutes and then goes off completely. Each time right before it dies, I see a bright vertical straight line on the center. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is just some minor problem (fuse, etc)? Can I fix by myself? If not, is it worth reparing the monitor? I'd like to get it fixed, if possible, but not to put too much money for repair because I bought it three years ago for only $120. Any help for finding the problem or any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Jehng-Jung jkao@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu
