| 126344 | 2003-03-07 08:53:00 | If you think it may have been magnetised, open up the on screen display menu for the monitor and activate a degauss. If you don't have such in the menu, turn the monitor off for a couple of minutes (power off) and back on again, and it should degauss at power on. | wuppo (41) | ||

| 126347 | 2003-03-07 09:04:00 | Allow about 15 minutes to allow the PTC to cool off completely. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 126348 | 2003-03-07 09:08:00 | ok will do it soon...15-20 min complete computer turn off or just monitor? | csinclair83 (200) | ||

| 126351 | 2003-03-07 09:21:00 | Yeah, bit tricky to say what has done it, though it does sound like a magnetic effect. Vacuum cleaner can be guilty too although has to be pretty close. | Pheonix (280) | ||
