Good day listers, I'm new to the starmax list. Just found that you existed as problems have started developing on my Starmax machines. Glad you're here. I'm on a similar list for my British car and it is invaluable! Unfortunately, I'm a lot more comfortable busting my knuckles on the car than I am doing anything on the computer.
I have a Starmax 5000/300 and a Starmax 4000/200. They both have been good machines with little trouble. But now that it has been so long since they were made (and long since out of warranty) no one wants to look at them. Looks like we are on our own? My current problem is with the 4000/200. There are random lines that run horizontally across the monitor that gets worse as the machine is used (to a point that nothing can be read or seen). I've tried a known 'good' monitor, and it made no difference. A PC knowledgeable friend of mine said it sounds like a bad video card. I understand that the Motorola uses a video card on the motherboard so it's not as easy as just replacing the video card in a PCI slot. If that is indeed my problem, can the 'on-board' video component be by-passed and a pci slot video card installed?
