Volow) Newsgroups: comp.sys.zenith Subject: Re: ZENITH ZCM-1490 MONITOR Summary: fragile pins Keywords: Connector, Red Drop Out Problem. Message-ID: <1990Feb10.062544.5623@uncecs.edu> Date: 10 Feb 90 06:25:44 GMT References: <8008@chaph.usc.edu> Organization: UNC Educational Computing Service Lines: 10 On our Zenith ZCM 1490 the monitor wouldn't be recognized as a color monitor because the very fragile pins in the 15-pin connector weren't seated deeply enough. Considering the very thick cable, they ought to use sturdier pins. Plus the cable is not detachable at the monitor end for replacement. Quirky Zenith hardware, as usual.
