No red - what to look for?
« on: December 31, 2010, 11:36:40 am »
My monitor is a Pentranic 1425. It hasn't been on in several months. I turned it on today for some company and, embarrassingly, there was no red. It is attached to a PC via an ArcadeVGA card.

What should I look for first in diagnosing the problem? The machine hasn't been moved or even turned on in quite a while. The monitor has been super reliable for years.

Regards,
CM
