Comp. screen dont work

[Guest]

The comp. screen in my 89 reatta wont turn on sometimes. Do I need a new one?

Maybe not I've, found that some times the connections go bad and reseating the plugs<BR>brings it back. <BR>However if you've seen the screen get small<BR>and loose vertical hold then you need a new<BR>screen.

Hi,<BR> Speaking of computer screens, how about if they intermittantly get wavy at the bottom, could that be a loose wire, or the whole thing on the verge of going out as well?<BR> Sometimes, particularly in the hot weather, but not always, I think, the CRT in my '89 Riviera will get wavy and distorted for a little while, then after a little bit will clear back up to normal.<BR> I just thought of that while you guys were discussing this issue.<BR> I would imagine a loose wire or bad connection could cause these sort of problems, but I don't have the shop manual to verify that for sure.

The touch screens were one of the weak points in the '88-89 Reattas, which is probably one of the reasons GM went to a more conventional dash for '90. I have 13 Reatta parts cars and will send you an email.<BR>jfinn@computerpro.com

Anyone have an idea on what the price would be for an 88-91 Reatta onboard touch-screen computer? It can either be brand new or repaired.<P>Thanks
