- Situation: my roommate is bringing back a system with a Samsung VGA
- monitor (old, probably 4-5 years) that his father does not need after
- going the 486 route. Yesterday, the intensity on the monitor went to
- hell. No warning, just went to an extremely high level with no change
- in anything.
-
- It seems to me that a component has failed (i.e., a cap or resistor)
- which has caused the intensity to rise to abnormal levels.
-
- If he turns the intensity down ALL the way, the monitor is readable in
- text-only mode, but fuzzes out in graphics mode.
-
- Any suggestions?? I'm an electronics tech, but have no exerience with
- television-type systems. My best guess is that a resistor has failed
- open, but I no NOTHING about this type of circuit.
-
- Anyone know of a problem endemic to early Samsung VGA monitors, or know
- anything about VGA intensity circuits??

- Please rsvp via e-mail, as the traffic level on this group is VERY high.
