Dear All,
From previous auctions, I have bought a IIe and a IIc monitor (with
its stand) and both do not display any image and I need your advice
about the problems and a potential repair (remember I am in Paris,
France and I do not want to send my monitor to the USA ;-) if that is
worth it.
All tests have been performed with my IIe computer, validating the
display output with a third and working Zenith monitor, I can say the
IIe outputs video normally.
The IIe monitor (model Monitor II A2M2010P):
- turns on when plugged in
- displays no image.
The IIc monitor (model G091S):
- turned on when plugged in
- displayed the IIe image
I was happy and then... pschitt! Smoke came out from the monitor. I
turned it off and I have to admit I do not really want to turn it on
again.
What can I do? I mean I am not an engineer, can change a fuse and
that is all. I may sell it on eBay for pieces. Bringing them to a TV
repair may cost more money than the monitor, I do not know if that is
worth the try unless some of you already encountered such issues and
may explain how to fix them.
I thank you in advance,
antoine
Hi,
If you have any TV repair shops they should be able to fix them. But
that can cost. Any schools in your area that teach electronics might
be able to fix them. You would have to talk to the teachers directly
which can be hard to do but a lot cheaper.
In order for you to fix it your self you will have to give the group
something to work with. That is what it is doing, sounds and all. You
might have to use a volt meter to read certain check points, Be able
to drain caps so you do not get shocked when replacing something.
Take Care,
George
