Did you test the horizontal output transistor? A shorted HOT is the most common cause for the tick-tick-tick sound. And yes, it's normal for the degaussing PTC to get hot. I didn't test any transistors when I was checking components, mainly just passives. Would that cause the entire HV circuit to …

About a year ago I inherited a dead IBM 8513 monitor from my aunt. The issue seemed like it would be a simple fix of resoldering all the commonly troublesome connections such as the AC jack, replace C120 along most of the other capacitors on the power supply, and a few potentially bad diodes. …

I'll try that, I think it's a Phoenix BIOS. I've tried all the F keys, ESC, space, CTRL shift up, CTRL shift down.

Hi all, I've tried all the suggested BIOS shortcuts for my Gateway 2000 4DX2-50V I recently acquired, and I still can't access the BIOS. The only time I was able to was after I replaced the CMOS battery. If you have any ideas, let me know. P.S. The system is running Windows 3.11 for Workgroups.

Hi all, I recently was gifted a HP Pavilion 6745C from a friend. I decided to open it up and clean the dirty fans, replace the thermal paste, and upgrade the ram to 768MB. After reassembling it, it wouldn't turn on (note: I never powered it on before taking it apart, so I have no idea whether it …

Thanks!!!

Where should I get DX9? Also, I am running 98SE.

Does anyone know how to get DX9.0c without using the dxwebsetup program?

I'll try getting a new DX version. And as voodoo47 said, I was wrong about the current version, It's DX6.1

All the GPUs on that list are AGP cards that I own. As of the time that I posted I thought all of them worked, but it looks like the GeForce4 MX440 and ATi Radeon X1600 PRO are dead. The only problem I've run into with the GeForce 3 Ti 200 is that it doesn't support DX7. Also, what forceware version …

Thanks for all the replies! It looks like there's a pretty big backing for using the GeForce 3 Ti 200, so I'll check it out today and see if it's more compatible with the games I was trying to run than the FX 5200 I had in there previously.

Hi everyone, I'm wondering which of these graphics cards will work the best in my socket A Windows 98 build. These are the GPUs I have: - GeForce FX 5200 128MB - GeForce 6200 256MB - e-GeForce N6200 256MB - GeForce 3 Ti 200 64MB - GeForce MX440 64MB - Quadro4 100NVS 64MB - ATi Radeon X1600 PRO 512MB …
