Hi All,
New user here. My TRS-80 Model 4 Gate Array has suddenly developed video problems. Video was perfect until I turned it on a few days ago and the screen was way bright with zig-zag lines visible. The machine was able to boot from floppy and display the OS welcome screen but the text was so blurry I could hardly read it. The brightness and contrast control under the keyboard had little affect. I unplugged the 12 volt supply from the main power supply (the Astec model) and ran 12 volts to the video board from my external power supply. Same video problems. Thus I assume it's the video board.
Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
