| 197444 | 2003-12-04 22:26:00 | lol i have a crt monitor about the same age and when its turned off it occasionally makes a strange sort of cracking sound every like 3 hours or so, kind of like the sound it makes when u turn it on. i dont mind it, seems to be nothing wrong with it, must b the static charge or something. | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 197445 | 2003-12-04 22:30:00 | Since you've had it for 5+ years already, then it's probably nearing the end of its lifespan. I'd say you'd probably have to keep doing what you're doing to get rid of the sound. Getting it repaired wouldn't be economical, as 15" monitors would probably cost about the same to buy a new one, than to get your current one repaired. |

| 197446 | 2003-12-04 22:46:00 | Hi there, My brand new monitors emmitted a high pitched frequency that drove both I and my dog nuts. It was just a matter of changing my refresh rate and resolution and the problem dissappeared. Could be the same in your case. Let me know how you get on... | dotcommander (4338) | ||

| 197448 | 2003-12-05 05:41:00 | well that could happen to a brand new monitor but i havent changed my refresh rate for almost 2 years and it worked fine | fryup (3762) | ||
| 197449 | 2003-12-05 09:32:00 | Hi fryup Windings on some inductors gradually loosen over time and some ferrite cores can come apart as the glue deteriorates. Either of these will squeak, with the latter being the worst offender. You might be successful tracking it down, and a drop of glue will shut it up, but it is not a job for an amateur as you need to probe around high voltages with a suitable tool to identify the culprit. Probably best to bear with it or buy a new or secondhand monitor. An upgrade to 17" or 19" is not expensive on the secondhand market. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 197450 | 2003-12-06 00:11:00 | This happens with my monitor. It emits a high frequency whine, and often it will make other omunis sounds such as screeches. It is also flickering badly now. It came with my year 2000 computer. I am glad it is failing as it has a tiny viewable area. 16.1inch viewable my @$$. | Wilky (776) | ||
