105649 2002-12-13 05:49:00 My PC SVGA monitor has just stopped working. The screen flickered and then just the blank screen. I have tried the connections. If I turn it off then on at the the wall switch I hear it crackle a little then nothing. The monitor light does not come on. Is this the end. Any comments appreciated John Boy (1365)

Well, it is Friday the 13th, after all. If the light is not on then there is no-one at home. The "crackling" is probably the power supply starting and shutting down due to a fault.

Worth getting it looked at if its only about 3 years old or so, otherwise the price of repairs could be better put towards another unit. Some have a 3 year warranty, so check first?
