Yes, that's the process I was referring to. I was mulling the idea that all that's done there can be put on a 3-pole double throw (3PDT) switch with some careful wiring, so with one flick of a switch (while the computer is powered off) you could go between the original resolution and the VGA...

Would you mind sharing some photos of how you've done this? I've been thinking about that exact thing, as the entire process appears to be disconnecting things from one another - so it appears it could be done in such a way that one switch could control the mod on and off. Maybe this could be a...

I was wondering about that, but I don't know if any of that is repairable or adjustable. I see that the CRT has those plastic strips that can be moved around - aren't they in control of some magnet positions? In any case, on mine they seem to be factory glued, so I don't think anyone ever...

I see :( I guess I will just have to accept it, and feel lucky that I have another one that doesn't have this issue.

Yes, it's a fax software extension. It's on the system that's on the HDD that was in the computer when I got it. The extension even makes some noise that's probably supposed to sound like the paper being spooled out of the fax machine. But it's really more like static noise, and at first it made...

Thanks! I don't think there is anything magnetic in the environment, as I have another Color Classic which I've been repairing - that one has other problems, but the screen looks perfectly uniform when the computer sits in the exact same spot where I'm testing the CC with non-uniform screen...

I purchased a non-working Color Classic with an intent to repair it, and after fixing up some fairly extensive logic board damage due to capacitor leakage, and of course doing the logic board recap, the computer was back up and running! Two problems remained however: there was some picture...

I've had similar flickering on the Color Classic, although it involved color changes and instability. Much like yours, it was most pronounced during the warmup period of 10-15 minutes. Problem went away after I recapped the analog board (I did a full recap) and also touched up any suspicious...
