[comp.sys.mac.hardware] HELP! Problem with Mac Plus video display

wyeh@blackhawk.eng.clemson.edu (Daniel Yeh) (05/04/91)

Hi there,

My Mac Plus is having problem with its video display. The visible portion
of the screen expands when displaying white and shrinks for black. If 
several large black blocks are drawn on the white background, both sides 
of the visible area become distorted seriously.

I suppose this symptom is what Mr. Larry Pina calls "buckling and blooming"
in his book. I followed the procedure described in his book and measured 
those capacitors relevant to this problem. However, those capacitors
seems to be working properly.

Does anyone out there know what is going wrong?
