I'm temporarily managing a site with about 40 or so Televideo TVI 950
terminals (among others).  Much to my surprise, the 950's seem to have a
terrible failure rate.  About once a week an arbitrary TVI 950 either
has a power supply failure or burns out a flyback transformer.

We send back quite a few still under warranty when they burn out
within a few days or weeks of arrival.  Just before I took over, the
site put in yet another mixed bulk order of 950's & 924's that we'll
be receiving over the next month or so.  And I'm expecting to be stuck
with more trouble.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on possible causes and cures for this
strangely high terminal mortality rate.
