Subject: AKF60 monitor - no Acorn modes
The AKF60 monitor on my A5000 has been standing unused for a while.
When I turned it on, it wouldn't show any of the Acorn modes (12
etc), Fliptop (colour card app) shows lots of yellow modes, but
that's it.

Is this likely to be fixable, or should I look for a replacement?

Joyce.

The AKF60 is a VGA monitor so it can't do modes like 12 and 15 which are
15.25 KHz (TV frequency) modes. Ig you really must have these modes you need
something like an AKF50 or AKF18.

Oh! I must have swapped monitors over at some forgotten stage.
Thanks!

*twitches*

I used to have to repair those.  When I go to bed, I sometimes still
count AKF18s instead of sheep.

I've heard about those :-(

In fact I think we used to have one. But now I'm looking for an
AKF50, since mine has disappeared (the pooka must have eaten it).

Were they made by Philips? Suffered from dry joints round the LOPT.
Philips must have got a job lot of cheap solder.

No, AKF18s were made by Lite-On.

No, they were made by Lite-On (a Taiwanese firm I think)

tell me about it.  Mind you , the Philips 8832 and 8833 were notorious
for that too, as you say below.

>Philips must have got a job lot of cheap solder.

I think the wave soldering process just wasn't up to getting a good
dollop of solder onto the LOPT pins.
