There is a service which does the excellent repair job on component base level for any PC monitor, Mac, power supplies, etc. Their rates are quite reasonable. They do not have a bench fee but there is a flat charge $95 for any color monitor, Mac+, SE etc. and $60 for monochrome ( parts as CRT, power transformer, and flyback are extra, a tube regeneration is included). The repair time is also very fast, usualy 2 days ! They do not take the credit cards, however a check is O.k. Next time give them a call ! phone: (714) 968-6207 address: A-Z Systems 18582 Beach Blvd., Suite #217 Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Charles Mcousek - happy customer ! mcousek@felix.UUCP ==============================================================================
