My monochrome monitor, at random intervals, suddenly displays one jagged
looking line and the rest of the screen goes black. Knocking it around
fixes it or letting it sit a long time fixes it. I brought it to San Jose
Computer. They charged me $50.00 to fix it. It still didn't work. I brought it
back, the technician said he left it on 4 days and didn't see it happen.
He said it was my machine. I disagree. I tried a friends monitor it worked
fine. Hitting the monitor fixes it, not the machine! Now I hear Atari
will fix it for another $60.00. I feel like I've been ripped off. All
I have had is problems with the ST. I had one of the early ones. Motherboard
went bad. Bad mouse. Now monitor.
Atari please reply!!!!!
(* no, I don't have power supplies near the monitor *)
