slightly OT: short in video?

2000-09-08 Thread Ron Farrer
I have an old 486 that I keep around for toying with (runs Debian GNU/Linux). For the past year (or so) it has had a wobbly picture on the screen. Recently (last few months) the picture cuts out for a split second. My guess is a short in the video. I'm pretty sure it's not the monitor or cable
