Damn! A few weeks after rescue, my wonderful WYSE WY-55 terminal has developed a fault. My son noticed it first. He said, "that thing is making a horrible screeching noise!" I couldn't hear it. At 44 I must be deaf to that frequency. Anyway, after a while, the frequency came down to where I could hear it screeching... and I began to notice what looked like "ripple" on the display... ...the sound is now loud enough you wouldn't want to use it... and it mostly doesn't work anyway. Most of the time when you turn it on, the screen stays blank and the keyboard lights stay on continuously. My experience with old Mac monitors says flyback. Could it be caps?
