But it didn't hurt :)

My BZ monitor crapped out on me last weekend. The first time, I "fixed"
it by upulling the cabinet out from the wall and removing the back of the
cabinet. I stared briefly at the monitor, and voila, video.

Umm, now to fix it *right* - a nudge on the connector going to the HV
supply was enough to make the video appear and disappear. Diagnosis,
cold solder joints on the .156" MTA connectors.

Upon removing the deflection board, I noted several suspect joints on
the connector to the HV supply, as well as one or two on the deflection
transistor circuits. Problem solved. Hey, the joints *were* only 19
years old before they started to fail... :-)

Later,
Doug.
