i had an amiga monitor that quit working after 4 years of being on,
so i took it apart and tried to fix it.
it turns out that a strange looking temperature sensitive resister thing
went bad.
this is wat it was for: when the computer is turned on, the resistor
is cold, so it lets lots of current go through a coil that is in front
of the crt. after 1 sec, it gets hot, and the current shrinks, and it
demagnitizes the metal chunks around the crt.
the resistor was shorting, so i got rid of it. but now,
the screen is a bunch of strange collors. how could i make it good again?
also there is quite a big scratch on the screen. is it possable to fix it?
thank you in advance for sugestions.
gwoho liu.
