Peter, thank you for the reply! i had to wait a bit for it to get dark
enough, but i just checked and i could not see any visible arcing inside
the chassis when the terminal is powered on. there is a slight buzzing
noise coming from the problem area but i suspect that is normal.
i did notice
i have a VT100 that is working fine (powers on, navigates setup,
saves/restores settings, etc) but has an unpleasant burning/ozone odor
coming from the rear of it. i suspect something is running hot but i am not
sure what, i do not currently have an IR camera in my hands- working on
that. the
