Chris, One of the most common failure modes for all CBM monitors that I've seen is the solder joints on the flyback transformer. Seems that the mechanical vibration of the transformer stresses the joints until they crack, then the joints start becomming intermittant. That causes sparking which burns the joint and makes it worse. I've also seen the horizontal output transistor fry and take the power supply & flyback with it. 🙁 As for the secret of life…. it's 42! -Jim "Where's my towel?" MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
