I plan to attempt to contact Rick tomorrow, I sent him an e-mail last night.
I thought about attempting to fix the NT-2701, however, I have never done any significant electronic repair and this one scares me.
The 2701 was not functioning properly when I got it, it was our of focus, off color, there were lines underneath the video screen that had the graphics and the image of the screen was in the shape of an hour glass. I was just preparing to play around with adjustments on the monitor and it flashed and went black, with the middle of the monitor maintaining a bright vertical line on the screen until I shut the system down. Just as I shut the system down I caught the smell of melting circuit board, so I was guessing the monitor has termanal issues. I never looked at the board though.
Thanks again. If anyone has other comments that will help my decisions, I would appreciate it, especially any past experience with the Neiman 27" monitors.
