Monitor Amiga M1438S

Hello,
does anybody have the schematics and general documentation for the monitor Amiga M1438S?
thank you very much

I have the user manual which came with the monitor. Let me know if you want it and can't find it anywhere else, I can scan it then. I don't think it has schematics though.

Also try broadening your search to Microvitec M1438

Not easy to find. Just 1701 could be found. https://www.eserviceinfo.com/equipme...rovitec_3.html

I found two manuals. One is for 17" monitors so it's not the right one.
The other is for Microvitec 7 MK2 series... is this the right one? I do not know. From a very quick look it seems the right one...

Well. If you have the "right" one (in English?) I would thank you for a scan...

The normal manual is quite useless as far as I remember. Just the absolute basics.

Yeah, not much in it, but here's a quick scan anyway:
http://amiga.unikko.org/Misc/Amiga-M1438S-UserGuide.pdf

It's a multilingual guide... the last page has information about connector pins.

Thank you very much. Excellent scan quality!

The issue is that there are not schematics... even if the manual itself is useful!
I go on my search.

Hehe, for curiosity, I scanned it with my almost 20 years old scanner with SCANdal on MorphOS, and then batch cropped/rotated and PDF converted it with my own yet unreleased image processing program under MorphOS

Edit: the program has been released: RNOEffects

Hi guys!

Did anyone have any luck finding the schematics for M1438S? I'm also looking for them.

I decided to surrender... also since a friend has been able to repair mine... but if somebody has...

get a scan doubler + 1 trinitron old CRT monitor which is far better than the Microvitec 1438
you are going to spend some money but you are going to save headaches and obtain better visual results
trying to repair a rare monitor is a hell surely you're not trained, you will fail
