Well, all hyped-up from my first monitor fix (HP1702) I bid for a broken Proview CY765 on Ebay,
and won it for the sum of 1 english pence! (and I collected it as it was local).
It apparently had a black screen which you could just see the image using a torch/flashlight.
Caps, I thought, me and Badcaps.net can fix that!
Imagine my dissapointment when I plugged it all in and everything worked perfectly!
Well it did the first time I switched it on.
Every time I switch it on from cold, it takes between 30 seconds and a minute
before the screen lights up and the flashing yellow light becomes green.
I suspect something is on it's way out.
I replaced a single bulging cap which didn't fix the slow start.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow, I took some last night but I must have been vibrating judging by the blurry photo's I took.
I'll use a mini-tripod this time!
