A few weeks ago someone was helpful enough to suggest a fix to a
flashing,crackling 1084 monitor. I remembered reading a post somewhere on this
very subject and thinking my 1084 had no problem, I disregarded it.
Guess what!
Can anyone help me with this. I am capable with 'the iron' if need be but I
need some idea as to where to look.
Thanx in advance.

P.S. When it comes to soldering… The bigger the blob the better the job!
I think I had the same problem as you a few months ago. It crackles then
flashes a few times then after a few more goes of getting it on it stops
working totally.
If this is the problem all it is is your power switch. You need to get inside
and have a look at the switch. Then get one of the similar type (checking
voltages etc) and solder it in, not forgetting to take the old one out!!
The first time it happened we sent it off to be repared and it cost 50 Pounds
(about $70). The second time we repaired it our selves with a switch worth less
than a couple of dollars!!
