I know I could've posted this in the monitor section... but there's another detail that I'm not sure about... please read on.
Asteroids; contrast pot not working. To see anything on the screen you have to turn the brightness up to the point where you see the retrace lines (and bright dot in the middle of the screen). This has apparently been an issue for a while since that dot in the center of the screen is burned in VERY well.
When you put the machine in test mode, you get 1 beep as well... so, I'm assuming RAM issue (leaning towards bad socket as I swapped the RAM around and still only got 1 beep... was going to replace).
Now, I know that bad RAM can cause some weird issues... but is there anyway that it could be effecting anything that would cause the contrast pot to look like it's not working?
The monitor has had caps and pots replaced... still no joy.
