This is my first contribution to sun-spots and hopefully not my last.

We have a number of Sun 3s with the notorius Philips monitors.  The common
problem we have been experiencing with the monitors is a heating (causing
melting of the soldered connection and blacking of the plastic connector)
of pin 7 of J202 and P202.

I am requesting answers for a couple of questions;
 1) Has anyone had this problem or one of a similar nature and could
    they give me some idea of what causes it?

 2) Where can I find replacement molex connectors, including the plastic
    shrouds and the crimp-on connector, for these monitors.
   note: I've found dealers who will sell us minimum amounts of 1000
         or so, which is about 980 too many for our purpose.

 My email address is <lemay@sce.carleton.ca> , I will put a summary
of the responses on sun-spots.
 Thank you.
