- This monitor was intermittent, and now finally died. Folow along as I diagnose and fix it.

Arcing on dry joint .
Looks like a 1080 monitor, similar case to 1084d1 i think, cant remember 😂
I want one of those monitors as we don't get them in Australia with that badge. I have a few 1081 1084 etc but not a 1080 to go with my amiga 1000
The model number is not written anywhere, but it probably is a 1080.
Simple as that.
If only it were so simple every time! 🙄
Is that really a 1084?
A 1080? Not sure because the model number is not written anywhere.
I have a Commodore 2002 and a 1080 that are visually identical and both are marked with the model on the front. I need to open up the 1080 as it is dead. Hopefully it is an easy fix like yours was.
If you a viewer and doing this for the first time then stop and get help. Very real risk of electrocution.
Thank you for that. If this were how-to video I would have said that too. This one is for entertainment, not demonstration.
@@retrofriends I know mate but I worry about those who watch this, think it is easy and end up getting electrocuted.
As entertainment goes, this one is definitely a dramatic rollercoaster of emotions. Initial concern for your safety waned a bit as it was clear you had no intention to tear down the device to properly replace the affected component. Puzzling that you would choose not to even test it was still within spec but relief that your approach may have accidentally saved your life. But the cherry on the Sunday comes with your response to a well meant comment on the matter of safety. Either reinforcing that you’re truly not aware of the life ending energy stored within the CRT or you just don’t care if others aren’t.
@@stevenbrentson8 @stevenbrentson8 You ignore the very first sentence of my response, where I thanked the commenter. You ignore the fact that I said in the video that I inspected all the capacitors (and resistors). This is a very clean, low hour monitor and I'm not going to waste my time looking for problems that aren't there. It always makes me nervous to discharge a CRT, as it should, and I'm glad I didn't have to do it. You just aren't going to find very many people who would go beyond the obvious repair that was required. What you will find is thousands of videos on UA-cam of very experienced folks working on old CRT TVs/monitors like shango066 and 12voltvids that should give you plenty of opportunity to further flex your trolling muscles. If you're not a troll, that means you are coming from a position of expertise in the area of CRT repair, and I suggest you go ahead and post your own videos on how you think it should be done on your channel. Thank you for your comment regardless. Comments, thumbs down, or any other interaction always help drive more traffic to my channel.
