I had a minotir with a simaler problem, can;t remeber which ofd the r,g or b was missing but i cut the plug off and put a new one on and it worked fine. I guesses most breaks in the cable happen right at the plug end which sometimes get pushed into a wall or somthing, anyway i cut it of just after thie silly magnet bit and spliced in a new lead then was a monitor extension and noiw it's fine again! lot of damn soldering like, and it didn;t help that the colours in the extension cable I spliced in were nothing like the colours in the origional lead! in fact as far as i could tell most of the colours were done at random apart from the main rgb pairs!!! (in fact on the origional only two of the grounds were used and in the extension all three were used, still as the rgb ground is common it matters little. blah blah etc ;-) >Incidentally, the "service" manual is useless, only covers external >adjustments, >and one had a Hitachi tube and the other a Toshiba.

Only ST apple monitor I've seen is the 20" multiscan i've currently cgot connected to my pc! yeah to my PC and that's where it's staying ;-) hope some of that made near coherent stuff ;-) Kyle Kinsey +------------------------------------------------- | eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Phone (Mobile): 07989 401 307 | ICQ: 20955065 | Web: www.thewibblereport.co.uk | -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
