For many years Apple Macintosh computer have been in the forefront of high quality graphic creation and presentations. This necessitated a better quality monitor than was utilized in the DOS/Windows world. Terms such as resolution were clearly defined and practiced. It was unheard of for this company to advertise for example, a 14 inch monitor to reproduce resolutions of 800x600 or 1024x768 as has been common practice with DOS/Windows. Macintosh's level of professionalism would not accept such deceptive practices. As a consequence however, it was necessary to replace the video interface card in your computer when updating to a larger monitor. This has been rectified recently and is much welcomed by all users.

A large number of video adapters were required to service this large family of monitors and very few service organizations are properly equipped to configure the monitors after repairs - leading to dissatisfied users. Erv's Monitor Service has always configured and adjusted Mac monitors using the original video adapters - and has a very high level of customer satisfaction as a result.

The media and the promoters of competing computer platforms have capitalized on the financial and market share woes of Apple Computer Corp. in the past, and many service organizations refuse to invest in the necessary video adapters as we have done. Business World survivors have one thing in common, they all are leaders in what they do. This is the fact that will endear the Macintosh system to future generations of computer users. The turnaround is presently evident with the introduction of exciting new products that will change the way we use our computers in the future.

Erv's Monitor Service is dedicated to provide the highest quality service to all Mac users and to repair all of the monitors that they use. A large number of our Mac customers are having their computers serviced here as well. We have seen a dramatic increase in the numbers of Macintosh products that have been sent to us for service.

TIP: Did you know that the internal cmos battery can cause your monitor to appear defective? The cmos battery is a little 3.6 volt battery mounted on the main logic board that powers the cmos memory chip when your computer is turned off, thus preserving the computer settings. When this battery weakens (2 years) you can have a sudden loss of function.

CAUTION: This battery is not intended to be user replaceable and you are wise to have your MAC service center replace it for you. We have installed hundreds for customers and have had to replace logic boards where the customer / user has attempted a "do it yourself" repair.
