Chris, Does it fade to black or just go suddenly? I've seen a couple that had bad analog boards. That's the board where the analog/digital switch is mounted. Anyway, these boards had flakey joints and after would make the screen go blank after a while. Sometimes you could get the monitor back by frobbing the a/d switch a few times. I know the 1084's are prone to break the solder joints under the flyback transformer. That can produce the same fade out symptoms. Can't say I've ever seen a 1950 do it though. When it goes black, does the power light stay on? -Jim MOS via Autopilot & Amiga
