You're a bit vague on the details. Are you getting a shock when your hand is placed right in front of the screen? If that is true, then I would agree with tomlee59. But if you h…

The IIfx doesn't seem to want to boot properly now. I get the chime but nothing else. It doesn't attempt to access the hard drive or the disk drive (it did the first time I turned …
OK, try "mode 5 VGA 640x480" separate sync. Avoid mode 6, sync on green, is what I meant to say. If the picture won't stop rolling / tearing, the monitor may require SOG (mode 6) b…
Actually, the yoke carries very dangerous voltages (and currents). Specifically, the horizontal deflection winding is the one that can give you a serious bite. I treat the yoke wit…

Ok So my screen has those diagonal lines and I notice that the screen has like a lot of static electricity in it. I had my hand on screen and turned it on and it zapped the %#$&…

Nope, if you can boot and get the machine to start recognizing the adb keyboard for the option key, it does just that. Puts up a rotation of screens and tells you the resolution a…

I've seen floppy drive cleaning kits kicking around the dollar stores, still. They seem to consist of a normal 3.5" floppy casing with a "disk" made out of fabric, and a small tub…
H3nry, thanks for trying to help.
The monitor has no apparent way to accept sync on green. I've navigated the On-Screen-Display menu and explored every possible setting, but most …

Oh, okay. What I meant by "touching" was what to hold while rotating the yoke. Because he was asking what was "safe" to handle. If this is not the best thing to do. Thanks for warn…

BTW, the yoke doesn't carry high voltage, so it's safe to touch the coils if you have to to break it loose. Or since you know you're going to rotate it anyway, loosen the clamp and…
