Re: colour me sceptical
Indeed - BBC Micro: "video doesn't work, I've plugged in the aerial lead solidly, it should work".
How the heck they got the monitor lead (DIN, RGB) rammed hard enough onto the BNC (Video Out) socket, so that it was, indeed, solidly in place, I do not want to know.
Luckily, DIN leads can be replaced and the BNC on the back of the Beeb didn't seem to have suffered at all.
