Sony CPD-420GS. Unfortunately not that bright of a picture Try performing a factory color reset. It should be under the OPTION menu. You need to leave the monitor on for 30 minutes, then you'll be able to activate that function. It will automatically recalibrate the monitor. I did this on a Sony …

I used a metal ruler to straighten the pins on an opteron 180 I had taken out of a 939 motherboard. The CPU came out stuck onto the cooler heatsink with the pins nearly sheared off. I just pushed the ruler horizontally and vertically through the gaps and combed the pins back into place.

Has anyone tried getting Epic games working on a retro PC like GOG games? Is it even possible? If the games are DRM-free (they should be,) just copy over the game files to the retro machine after installing them on a modern PC.
