| 118021 | 2003-02-05 21:04:00 | Ahhhhhh! Break through! All up, running and looking good. What a struggle though, there was no way I could simply re-solder the dry joints. I had to suck all the old solder off (with one of those solder suckers :D ) scrape and clean each connection and then re-solder. I recall that there was a major problem back in the late 60’s early 70’s with some solders which was traced by the old DSIR to the resin. (Then known as flux.) Apparently, the flux which did such a good job initially, was corrosive and carried on working for years to come, eventually causing a similar problem to what I’ve just experienced. Anyway, I’ll forgive the Tech that threw this monitor out on the grounds that he knew what was hidden under the metal cover/screen. ;) Incidentally, I’m sitting here using the screen with the cover/screen off and don’t seem to be incurring any electrical interference. (Maybe it’s just there to cover up poor workmanship) :^O |
