| 79309 | 2002-09-13 11:45:00 | I have 2 monitors here, and both of them seem to have issues :-( 1st monitor: When turned on the picture wobbles (kinda like a degauzing wobble) and comes right after a couple of minutes. It also seems to be a little blury. 2nd Monitor: Is getting power but wont react to receiving a signal from the computer. Little light keeps on flashing as if nothing has happened after the computer is turned on. Monitors are a little beyond me, so anyone got any ideas? Is it fatal? |

| 79310 | 2002-09-13 11:58:00 | Sounds like one needs a new thermistor in the degauss coil circuit, as it may be active for far too long? Have you got it sitting close to and transformer/plugpack/halogen desklamp or similar? And the other is dead?, the flashing light may be a health indicator. Check the manual. Sounds like a double funeral could be in order. RIP |

| 79311 | 2002-09-13 22:05:00 | GF, I suspect if the thermistor was that slow in shutting off, it would have exploded by now from the dissipation!! If the wobble is more of a fishtail effect, I would suspect failing electro caps. Either way, it sounds like retirement time. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 79312 | 2002-09-14 02:55:00 | A flashing power LED usually means that the power supply is working, but is overloaded ... some fault in the monitor itself. No LED means the power supply is not doing anything ... can be a fuse, can be escaped smoke, or both. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 79313 | 2002-09-15 12:07:00 | Thanks for the words of wisdom. Looks like the monitors might be past their use by date. Just thought I would run it past you guys first :-) | Prodigy (428) | ||
