drapes,
could you say what the symptoms of a dry joint are.
We have a 3 yr. old Gateway EV700 which has recently started doing a spontaneous partial de-gauss, sometimes accompanied by a buzz with grey lines crawling up the screen, leaving the colours awry.
Switch off and switch on solves, but annoying. Am handy with soldering iron but wouldn't be sure how to I.D. a dry joint.
