|    TRS-80 Model 4 video problem    |

      From: timinlymm@iiiiiinet.net.au              Hi All,              I'm a Tandy newbie, so apologies in advance for anything       obvious/wrong/silly :)              I rescued a Model 4 from the kerbside a while ago which has a video fault.              Essentially, the beam appears to be always on. Every scanline is drawn,       as is the retrace. There doesn't appear to be any variation in the       brightness, other than the retrace being a little dimmer (which makes       sense, I suppose).              If there are any TRS-80 hardware gurus out there who might identify it       as a common/known (fixable) issue for this hardware, I'd be very       happy... I'm not confident enough poking around near HV circutry to do       any live troubleshooting myself.              If anyone is keen to help, I can supply pictures.              If noone is able to help but would be interested in providing a loving       home for it, let me know. I'm in Western Australia though, so postage       may be expensive if you're somewhere else :)              Tim              (remove all but two i's from the domain name to mail me, or just reply       in group)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
