Hello,

Somehow today I killed something in my IIgs.  I am not sure if it is a display issue or a logic board issue, honestly.  I do not have a screensaver saved in my 6.0.2 system, so I turned off my monitor, while I went over to my laptop to do some other work.  Well, when I turned on my IIgs display, the video I got was all garbled.  So I went to change the tunings in the back, and I was able to get a picture.  However, now I can't get a picture to stay on the monitor for more than about 5 minutes at a time, before it starts to flicker, and jump.  Also, whenever I turn on the monitor, and then turn on the computer, the display is instantly garbled until I tune it to get a picture. 

Well, I killed something.  I am just not sure what.  Is this usually a display issue, or a logic board issue?  Honestly, this is going to involve soldering/recapping, which is outside my skill set.  However, I am not sure what I should pay to have fix, either the display or the logic board?  Or both?  Who on here does CRT repairs?  How much does that service run?  I am sure it is at least $100 just to ship it out, and then receive it.  Recapping is easy - I know someone who can recap the logic board for about $50.  The display though.. What are my options there?  Should I just can it and grab a new one somewhere else that definitely works?

What would you have fixed first, I mean what is the safest bet, though?  Logic board?  Or CRT?

Thanks.
