Those of us who own/ed CRTs have been here before. There's a time where a color kind of goes off and a good "smack" on the side will get it back on.
Being that I am an adult now and a "smack on the side" is not an acceptable solution to a problem (it's not even a solution, just a patch), I am interested in fixing this for good.
I would think this is some kind of cold solder joint, but what should I be looking into and where if I open up the CRT? Could it be just a problem on the VGA cable connector? or, like Classic Macs, some kinda cable that connects to the CRT's display board?
Any thoughts appreciated before I open up this Gateway CrystalScan 1024 N1.
