Dead 1040 STf
Re: Dead 1040 STf
Have you tried pulling and inserting the monitor cable when the problem happens ? Also might be idea to do a good long ram test just to be sure.

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~

Re: Dead 1040 STf
Aargh! I suddenly realised I had been turning the VHold on de the monitor when my other ST was connected and suddenly had the screen go running exactly when starting a demo.
I guess the VHold setting SC1224 was just on the edge of correctness and crept out of it due to thermal force. At least I hope, not looking forward to do a recapping as I'm already working on a Commodore 1084S that has severe problems.

ah yep.. That really is oldskool issues! I've not used a CRT for really long time.. all those pots get dirty and odd things start to happen. I think most of us are used to TFT stuff these days..

Re: Dead 1040 STf
I'm still struck by the nostalgic picture of those good old CRTs. Getting one increased the joy of running my ST by at least 70%
Re: Dead 1040 STf
I hate running LCD on these old machines, never looks right. Scaling problems and just odd having a 30 year old computer with a new telly sat on it.
