- It is the right frequency and this is not the problem. I have a A3000 and
- have since used the Sony 1302, NEC oldest Multisync, Mitsubishi 1381A
- DiamondScan, and MAG MX14S. In which I forgot about the rest, my now
- MAG doesn't do productivity mode right, and has the same symptom as you
- have. My friend who is an EE experience with computer video (but not
- with Amiga) said there could be a wrongly designed electrolytic capacitor
- in the analog circuit, which is reversed. I have yet to verify it, but
- I tried it with many other MAG same models and it's same. I made it working
- withthe NEC and Mitsubishi fine, but I don't remember about the 1302, whic
- I had only about 10 days.

- I don't know if it is the SuperDenise or not, I have suspected that before
- my friend's suggestion. Anybody knows about this?

- My MAG will be fine running productivity mode within the monitor turned on
- for 30 mins. After that, the video gets reversed, and very dim, the top
- part is banded to the right, but not reverse video. Sometimes, tapping
- the monitor might do, the trick for a while on one of them.
-
- Anyone can help?
