Well the saga of my sometimes green less 1950 monitor screen on my new 3000/25
continues. What has happened noe is that the screen now is mostly without green
and comes to full color only occasionally. Rebooting does not affect this.
Curiosly it is not completely without green as I can shift the green level
on the preferences and get some affect. Also curiously is the fact that the
green of the preferences comes in strongest at either end of the bar. finally
to to everything off, there is a small hot spot on the bottom left
corner of the
monitor, this does not change no matter which side of the 3000 it is placed
on, but does vary in strength depending on how the monitor is faced
(it is weakest when the monitor is perpendicular to the fron of the 3000.
Right now I'd just like to find out if its the computer or the monitor
thats flakey so I know what to send
back. So anybody from CBM or anybody else please call, Email or post if you
have any suggestions (BTW someone already suggested the monitor cable, but
jiggling it has no effect and its wired right in to the 1950. should I try
opening the 1950?)
finally here's a few more work/wont work items for the 3000:
works: simcity (1.3 only)
Blitzkrieg at the ardennes
Fire Brigade
Mechforce (thanks Ralph!)
wont work:
Moonbase
Diskmaster
Gunship (also locks serial port )
