[comp.sys.mac.hardware] AppleColor Hi-Res RGB Calibration?!

klingspo@holst.tmc.edu (Steve Klingsporn) (02/22/91)

Hello.

I'd appreciate no answers from people who are "speculative," for I'm
only looking for a response from someone who is authorized to do work
on RGB monitors, Trinitron TV's, etc.

Here's my problem:

My monitor has a slightly unbalanced screen; because of this (it
tilts a bit too much to the right (downward), I'm unable to 
attain a good convergence on either the horizontal or vertical axis.

I took my trusty phillips screwdriver to the case (after all was shut off),
and was startled by a pretty mean shock -- one that I'd get, say, if
I were just using the monitor, and would try lifting it, even.

I'm afraid to open it up, but am fairly broke.

Therefore:  What is the safest way to fix this problem on my own?
Are there books I can pick up on the matter?

I don't care about warranty, etc. -- this isn't any longer under warranty.
Also, I know how dealers work -- I have no desire to be ripped off.

I've worked for Apple for 2 years back home, but am now at school.
I was never Level I Certified because of a lack of class seats,
yet I've performed "the usual" on classic Macs, so I know of the
problems w/ high-voltage, etc.


If someone knows what pot on the inside to turn...
(or knows NOT to f*** with what's inside),
please send me email at:

Thanks much,

Steve
