126343 2003-03-07 08:44:00 all of a sudden my monitor appeared faded on the left side top corner..
it was like..the holding bookside that i put my books on between monitor and the wall..and now i removed books..theres a sudden fade....what could be the cause of this..
i know it could be something magnetic but...where?
its only wood and the wallapaper next to it...apart from a pen jar thats eben there for weeks...
and can i fix it anyway?

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)
126345 2003-03-07 08:56:00 all i have is contrast, brightness, moving screen up and down...and strech..and one other i dont know of..

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)
126349 2003-03-07 09:11:00 Just monitor. No power allowed :) Pheonix (280)
126350 2003-03-07 09:16:00 thanx..i'll let u know the outcome in a hour..am just finishing off a download first.. :-) 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)
126352 2003-03-07 09:26:00 all i did was move my computer monitor from one end of the desk to another..
it was used to be ont the end near the window now its near the door..and door is open...
and i onyl did this like 10 mins before messaging this saying it faded coz it wasnt faded b4 the shift...
