I know it's been discussed to death before...
My Mac Plus screen has just developed a few idiosyncracies... First, the
top of the menu bar is physically bent, rather like:
______________________
_____________________-------- |
| |
...etc. Apologies to those using kerning fonts.
And, the letters will actually appear to quiver.
Back when I first got the toy, some three years ago, there were reports
of this happening all over. I somehow envisioned the entire screen shimmering-
that is, in a nice steady sinusoidal pattern with a large period, not
single-pixel lines being displaced by half a pixel width, like I'm getting.
Anyway, with an attitude of "It's not happening to me now, so it probably
never will," I dismissed the advice and ignored the thread.
Well, now it's happening to me... I recall something about flaky power
supplies being blamed. Anyone know if that would be the culprit? Any suggest-
ions on a remedy? (Purchasing a IIci does not viably constitute a remedy to
me...:-)) I'd like to avoid my local Apple dealers, as they are thieves. I
have no fear of soldering irons, replacing components, et cetera.
Thanks in advance...
Andrew
