About a month ago, I told a story of how my trusty old Multiple Scan 20 monitor had started turning sporadically green. After applying a liberal amount of compressed air to purge the bunny build-up, I thought I had the problem licked. Alas, it was not to be. I finally lugged the beasty off to the friendly neighborhood Mac garage earlier this week to get the bad news confirmed by someone wearing an off-white smock. Apparently, my poor cyclopic hardware has been rendered “vintage” by the Department of Hardware Obsolescence down in the land of Cupertino, and spare parts are no longer officially gettable. Nuts. On the bright side, I did manage to locate email hidden; JavaScript is requiredb1e1A^5@.eeabacf">a thread on the Apple Support Boards where some smart guy with the identical problem has identified the source of the greenish hue back to a single faulty solder joint. As soon as he can describe the exact location of said solder joint, the flux’ll be a flyin’. I really wasn’t looking forward to paying someone to replace the entire main deflector board anyway.
