If you decide to send it off to have it repaired, I suggest:

  R&R TV-Stereo Service
  Bldg. 209, Area C
  W.P.A.F.B., OH 45433
  (513)-878-6696

If you call them, talk to Ron.  They were recommended to me by
Best Electronics.  My mono monitor had died (even the green led
was out), and I called Best Electronics who recommended R&R.  So
I sent them my monitor on a Monday, they called me on Friday with
an estimate on the repair cost, I sent them a check Saturday, and
by the next Friday I had my monitor back in working order.  It cost
me $56, including shipping, for everything.  I have had some bad
experiences with Atari related repairs before, but R&R gets five
stars out of five.
