Hi Folks!
Another terminal question. I have an ADM-5 here which works fine but
when switched off, the display colpases into a very bright vertical line
and then to a single point in the center of the screen. This then lasts
for about 10 seconds and always happens regardless of the brightness
setting. Question is, is this normal and if not, is it likely to damage
the phosphor over time?
Cheers,
Dave
It's a normal thing to happen when CRTs are shut off. I can't see that
it would burn in, it's far too brief and infrequent.
