My Macintosh 12" RGB Display (Family number M1299) from the 90s doesn't turn on anymore. When I click the power button it goes in but nothing happens. It has worked as recently as a few months ago.
Please advise.
Thanks
Earlier Mac models
Old CRT monitors produce a lot of heat. Most issues with them are age-related due to heat making the wiring's insulation brittle and crumbly, causing short circuits.
Given that:
...I would let that one die in piece. I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone lacking professional credentials/training work on an old CRT due to fire and fatal amounts of electricity present. The shock hazard remains a issue long after the monitor is removed from a power source.
I work on a lot of computers both for family and friends. I can take apart most. I DO NOT work on CRT monitors because I am very fond of my wife's husband!

I'm originally from the South. It gets complicated. 😳
