My 8513 VGA monitor took a bit of a fall. A small dent in the corner
is the only external problem, however, it did end up with an internal problem.
It still works but the text and graphics are fuzzy. It is as if one of the
electron guns is slightly out of alignment. I would love to find somewhere
to send/take my monitor to get it fixed rather than spend $500-$600 for a
replacement.
I was going to try my hand at fixing it myself, but as anyone who has
this monitor can find out, you need a special tool to open the monitor.
I spoke to my local ComputerLand about my problem. They had ordered
the circuit diagrams and tool for the monitor a while back but IBM has not
delivered them as yet, so they can't help me.
If anybody knows where I can get my monitor fixed I'd love to here
about it. I would like to spend as little as possible (of course) and
have as little time as possible without it (also of course) but I am
willing to accept any information.
Thanks a bunch, Keith.
