I had the same problem with my 1084, and that plate you didn't remove is indeed the problem, to need to remove it and check for broken soder joints, I had the exact same problem, and my local Amiga dealer told me he couldn't fix it, and wanted to charge me for a new motherboard for the monitor, I screwed him and told my problem to my friend, we took the monitor apart, and removed the shield, and re-soldered a few spots, and voila! good as new, the only hard part was removing the sield, and then re-solderin



g back in place... I let my problem for for a much longer period of time and it gets exponenially worse... for a while I stuck a few bad disks between the bottom of the monitor and the metal shield but, that only worked for a bit... hope this helps....



-Mac, and Ibm?  No, no, really... they sell those?
