[comp.sys.mac] Video repair

c3ar@daisy.uchicago.edu (Walter C3arlip) (09/29/89)

Oh oh! I think I'm in danger of losing my Macintosh Plus video board
(again).  I've been getting "fuzzing" aroung the edges of the screen
and wavy lines horizontally across the screen and occasional jittering
of the whole screen, and just now the whole screen went black, followed by
a bright line through the center which gradually got brighter, until
suddenly my screen reappeared.

I've had my video board replaced once already!

Is there anything that can be done about this problem?  If the board
goes can I fix it myself?  Is there a replacement board that is a
little more durable?  Is it too late now, or can I save my Mac by
adding a fan now?

If anyone else is interested, I'll post a summary of replies I get.

Thanks,

Walter
