[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 1080 Monitor problem

oconnor@sungoddess.steinmetz (Dennis M. O'Connor) (06/14/88)

A friend's 1080 monitor has the following symptoms :

  It arcs about twice an hour, don't know where from or to.
  ( Videotaping the open back of the monitor didn't reveal it )
  It's been doing this for months. He's tried blowing all
  the dust out with a tool designed specifically for doing so,
  but the problem persists.

  Lately it's gotten worse : occasionally the "arc" shutsdown
  the monitor : black screen, no power light. Power-cycling
  the monitor brings it back. SOunds like some sort of
  protection circuit is being kicked in.

  Any solutions out there? How about corona dope : where
  should we try putting it ? Should (can) we try lowering
  the high-voltage voltage, which I assume is the problem ?

  Thanx.
