- I had a question concerning the 1084S monitor. I haven't been keeping
- up with my Amiga for the past few years but I'd been using the monitor.
- Anyway, today, I heard a weird "pop" noise come from my monitor and the screen
- went blank. Afterwards, there was this whining noise but no smoke, so I turned
- off the monitor. I tried to open up the cover so I could take a look inside but
- unfortunately I don't have the right screwdriver for the job!
- Well, to make my story short, I'm having this big anxiety attack
- because I'm really attached to my monitor and I'm worried I can't get it fixed
- because of the poor hardware/tech support the Amiga gets. As I stated before,
- I haven't been in the Amiga "scene" for some time now and don't know where to
- go or who to talk to about my monitor. I think it was just a fuse that blew.
- Anyway, I wanted to know if the fuses for the Amiga are of the
- general-type I could find at a general computer dealers ( I realize I haven't
- said which fuse but I couldn't get the back of my monitor open because of an
- improper screwdriver) or would the fuses have to be special ordered or
- fuses of the type for the 1084S monitor are no longer (yipe) available (ugh!).
- Actually, any information regarding this matter would be sincerely
- appreciated.
- Thanks,
