ok ill take it to repairman >> cuz ive got it for 0 ! : D
>> i just love how it looks

++ yepp really looking forward to october ! : )

If you wanna give it a shot take it to a TV repairman but IF (and this is a big if) he finds the part to fix your monitor, it might be more expensive than what you paid for it. Also: something else will break again and you will have to repair it again. The tube is out of warranty and the flybacks on these things burn like shit and are hard to replace.

I can help you sort it out in October maybe

OK SO I WONT EVEN TRY TO FIX IT //

BIG THANKS  FOR ADVICE AKIRA !!

I have a shitty Syncmaster 3+ SVGA monitor, but it works. My A1200 is fitted with a Scanmagic scandoubler. I will try to get an Indivision ECS for my A600 or maybe I'll just go for one of the cheapy ones that cost 70 dollars.

This board seems to work but I am not 100% sure about the pixel detail, if it doesn't support the Amiga native modes, it will look wonky.

An easy and accessible option is a modern LCD/LED TV. Most of them accept 15Khz through the VGA port. Then you just need the 23-pin Amiga video to 15-pin VGA converter that came with A1200s.

this is a test a guy from AmigaBR did with one of those boards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ4XZC_sRwA

what do you use as monitor, akira?

That seems a bit complex, maybe even less is necessary. i'd like to check if it works with the Amiga, some of these don't.

This is typical, I had this happening before. It is not the fault of the pot you snapped. VHold has nothing to do with this.
It worked for whatever period then something snapped and gave you that shit. Something broke inside hence the line of crap. All these monitors are WAY past their expiration date, the monitor warranty on these was good until some time in the early 200s, but any of these still working today are special. If the monitor was used regularly, it is only obvious that it stops working now.

Get a scandoubler to connect the Amiga to any monitor. Some guy is making an Amiga RGB to Component box too, you might want to get that if you have a modern TV at home.

The WinUAE emulator is still a great tool if you have an Amiga. I make all my configuration there and then I just provide the Amiga with the properly configured disk. It's much easier. When I can't access my Amiga I can use WinUAE to continue work. But I wouldn't prefer it to an AMiga, specially if I already have one at home and with them being so easy to source.

*cough*

SO you say its not the fault of potentiometer ???

fukk but for 30 sec it worked it looked REALLLY KOOOL : D

WELCOME TO THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF AMIGA.

The monitor is fucked. These monitors are prone to many failures these days. I wouldn't waste a second with one of these.

Probably receiving the30Khz signal was the final straw for the monitor. Your Amiga works fine, fortunately.

HAHAH IT WORKED with early startup menu .. then i booted it up .. tryed to adjust V HOLD -- -

AAND RUINED THE POTENTIOMETER !!!! >>> 888 FFFUUUU

now i get only one stripe in the middle of sceen lolwtf

.. i hope i can fix it : (

Looks like a sync problem. It looks like your Amiga may be outputting in Productivity or other 30Khz mode.
Have you tried a game? Try holding the 2 mouse buttons before powering up the Amiga, it will take you to the early startup menu.
If this one still shows up wrong, the monitor might be broken.

i think a1200 is PAL and monitor should be the same cuz its German ! ; O
maybe 1200 has the wrong resolution set up ,, dunno how to change it ; /
