Hi LCD Thanks, that's good to know it is just a PSU fault. The drive is the original drive that shipped with the SAM back in '91.
Is this something I should approach Quazar with, or is it something that can be resolved easily by someone as inept as me with electronics? I'd like to keep the original SAM supply really for aesthetic value.

It starts off with the left hand side phasing off in jagged lines, then eventually the entire screen goes blank. When the drive has been shut off the display returns. This only effects the video signal from the scart socket - RF works absolutely fine. Cheers Andrew Sure, the PSU supples not enough ampere or the drive (replaced?) consumes too much. I had similar issue with replacement drive, and after building new PSU all works fine. Cheers LCD
