A couple of nights ago I fired up my Mac Plus (Minus?) and saw that the
screen was entirely black except for a line of pixels streaking horizontally
across the top of the screen. After several reboots it went away and I forgot
about it. Well, last night I got the whole left side about 4 pixels wide
streaking across a blank screen, and having been told the day before that
whacking the case a few times might help, I did just that, and with success.
However, I do not wish to continue physically abusing my machine, and someone
told me that the analog board is bad and by running it I'm risking frying the
motherboard also. I know the Plus has sort of a reputation for the power
supply going -- can anyone tell me if this is related? If anyone out there
has had a similar problem, would you please let me know if and how you
resolved it? I've been quoted a price of $186 for a new analog board no more
robust than the one I have, and that scares me.
