I second that. If you're brave, take the cover off, get a plastic something to use as a probe. (There is HIGH voltage in there, so NO metal/wood.) Power up the classic, and while AVOIDING the back of the tube, stay on the other side of the upright board on the side of the case, watch the screen while you tap the board with your probe. Find a spot where tapping causes flickering, thats where you need to resolder most likely. You may find it's the pots for screen adjustment as it is on my SE/30. In that case get some tuner cleaner, use as directed, then readjust your screen. Joshua Coombs -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
