Hmm. I was not aware of this. I recently replaced the power supply/analog board in my Mac Plus. The old one had completely failed and wouldn't even allow me to power up. I plan on eventually fixing it, as I'm 99.9% sure it just needs some small amount of resoldering. Anyway, after I put the replacement power/analog board in, the Plus has seemed to work fine since. However since installing the 'new' board the screen image is shorter vertically, thus making it just a *slight* bit more squished than it used to be. Also, the brightness control underneath the monitor gets way too bright on it's high setting and doesn't dim the screen all the way on the low setting. Since the image controls are a part of the power/analog board in Mac Pluses, I thought that perhaps it was just a result of how things were set on the replacement board. I still haven't gotten around to tweaking the controls yet to try and make the image taller or fixing the brightness control, but now I'm wondering if this 'new' power board isn't failing also. The screen doesn't move or shrink at all no matter how long the machine is left on and is very steady which is why I would think that the vertical control just needs adjusting. What are the chances that this power supply is also failing as opposed to just needing to be adjusted? Like I said earlier, the image is very steady and solid and there is no evidence of any shaking, shivering, shifting or other visual anomalies like I experienced before my last power board failed. Just the two discrepancies I listed above. Thoughts? -Nat -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
