A friend of mine has an Amiga 500and is having trouble with her monitor. First, of all the on off switch is not longer realy functional. She has to push on on the button and then wedge it in with a straw to keep it on.Then the monitor does a funny thing, after a few minutes it will blink off, and it won't go on at all for another 10 minutes or so, no matter what she does. Questions: Does anybody know of anyone in the new York City area who repairs monitors? If not, does any one know of a monitor for sale (color or black and white) that could be used with a 500. Or could another monitor be used with some kind of adapter at the end of the cable to make it compatible. Thanks for any help.

Jeff, Any TV shop should be able to fix her monitor. Don
