Hi, having a serious problem with this if anyone can help or advise please.
I've had this monitor over a year, bought new (NOS) and perfect, no problems, and I love it (not literally ha)
Display would start going green, move the cable, back to normal, now that's done, no signal, the connection within the cable towards the VGS plug has gone, and now no picture.
Unfornately and very annoyingly, the VGA cable goes into the monitor, I assume soldered, I am far from competent with CRTs and soldering irons, but know a TV repair guy, may be able to get it open, but would it be a matter of just resolderiong a new cable to the PCB, or would there be a way to cut the end cable off, somehow wire into anther VGA input, or some other method at all?
I dread going to LCD with ghosting and smooth/blocky DOS Doom!! Please help!!!
