According to LEM, certain serial number ranges of the 1710 are problem prone:
After about a year of complaints, Apple admitted the extent of the problem and
offered anyone who owned a 1710 in a specified serial number range a one year
warranty extension. This was later extended through the end of 1998 for the
black screen problem.
But the worst aspect of the 1710 fiasco is this: most people who had the monitor repaired once ended up sending it in for service several times.
Does anyone happen to know what that range is?
Apparently they blow lineout transformers due to excessive heat. My 1710 blew a capacitor (heat again) and I considered installing fans when it was repaired, but didn't. It has died again and can just stay that way... serial N� SG63234X65J
