[comp.sys.amiga] Flashing monitor

scott@applix.UUCP (11/20/87)

About 2 months ago my 1080 began flashing during the first 5 or 10
minutes after being turned on.  A portion of the screen simply blinks
white for an instant.  It is most prominent after PopCli has done its
thing and the screen is otherwise black.

When I first noticed this problem, it took the form of white flashing
spots.  But now it looks to occur for many rasters; sometimes the entire
frame.  After about 15 minutes, the problem disappears.

I've seen the postings about some zapping (noise) problems.  The cure
was to have the monitor cleaned-out by a TV person.  Is my problem
related?  Should I bring it to the shop?
