Hi Alastair

Your screen is failing/failed the blinking light signifies this, I have seen quite a few with this fault and its not worth repairing. You will be able to buy a better screen for less money than a repair.

Regards

Roger

Thanks James but sorry I wasn't clear - it's a flat screen

if its a cathode ray tube type, bulky & weighty, then the vertical deflection is failing (capacitor drying out/loosing value) = sign of age

Any suggestions on this please? Can only find one mention - unsolved - on a forum.

This morning my apple display - 20", older, plastic surround, is normal at the bottom but gets progressively darker towards the top. Also, the power light is blinking erratically. It's the kind with the single plug for power and everything - I forget the initials for that...

Maybe it's dying - any help welcome

thanks
alastair
