Question on broken Apple IIe Color monitor
Continuing my attempt to build an apple system from garage sales, I
picked up an Apple IIe color monitor yesterday for 10 bucks. The
seller indicated that it worked fine (that will teach me!).
When I got it home and plugged it in, it powered up and the little
green light went on.
I took the video feed from my IIC out of the little green monitor and
plugged it into the color monitor and got nothing. Just to be sure I
then plugged the video feed into my old Commodore composite color
monitor and got the appropriate screen.
I unscrewed the case and checked inside. Finding no loose wires or
blown fuses, I sealed it back up. I still cannot get a picture.
I do notice that when the monitor powers up, a thin 3 inch line
flashes on the screen. When I turn it off a 3x2 rectangle flashes in
the center of the screen and then goes away.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Would it be best to take this to a computer repair shop or a TV repair
shop?
Any estimates what it might cost?
