I just bought a used Syncmaster 959nf monitor, but it has a bad red
blur or red-ish field in the upper left corner (don't know the english

I have an old Fisher CA-56 amplifier. It would appear I have lost volume
control on both speakers and the earphone jack. One of the spaekers went out
some time ago. Lately, the other one too went out. When I was pushing or
twisting the volume control slide, I was sometimes able to ...

 Every spring, as I do my cleaning, I take the time to strip the metal from
all the old appliances I discard. I remove the aluminum parts and strip
anything that may be attached to them. The recycler paid me about $.50/lb
for the aluminum last time, but looking around on the net ...

My old stereo amplifier is no longer working. I was thinking of just buying
an amplifier, connecting the tape out connector of my current amplifier to
this new amp. And connecting my actual speakers to it (45W RMS per floor
speaker)(but the actual amplifier was 35W)(8 ohm, whoofer ...

Got a 12ga wire running along under a panel in a hard to get to place.  With
great efforts and contortions, I can reach it to cut it and strip insulation
of the cut ends.

not throw the water around inside and therefore will not complete a

I've got a 7 inch external monitor I want to set up with my camera, it
is made for a car 12V.  Now, what do I do to make it so I can run it
from my home - AC?  I don't want to take a chance trying it with an AC
adapter before I figure this out.  Any ideaS?

I am trying to better configure the convergence on my Samsung SP-434
rear pro TV. The standard convergence control is pretty much useless. I
have accessed the service convergence screeen which gives a lot more
options to focus the picture - however, there are no instructions, and

I have been living with this monitor with the failed IC007, CXA2043Q,

I've got a Hitachi UC 24YFA universal charger and Q1 is totally fried

Transistor code?

My surround system just started to have a problem.  The standby/o
switch flickers between a green "on" light and a re
"standbylight" and won't power up.  I downloaded th
service manual, but I can't even get into the diagnostics program.

heard a pop then bright light dimming from the center.  I turned the
monitor on and off a few times and then giving up on it.  Can anyone
