Hi Tony,
In my experience, VT3xx terminals are known for eating
flyback
transformers....
Good oh, that fills me with confidence - I just picked up another VT3xx (a
340) along with another MicroVAX II at the weekend.
BTW I have a VT330 (or possibly a 320) which won't power up properly. When I
power it up I hear a click from the sounder in the keyboard and the PSU
shuts down, the it tried to power up again, clicks, powers down, etc etc....
Have you ever come across such a problem before?
I'd start by cleaning the screen. Yes, you can
laugh, but it caught
me once, on a VT100....
Ditto, same thing caught me out a couple of times in the past. It's ALWAYS
worth giving the screen a clean in these circumstances.
TTFN - Pete.
