Alternatively if there is a User option wind each of the colours up to 100%. If still dark consider spending $60 or so to get a specialist to see if the video amplifiers can be tweaked up. |

| 63804 | 2002-07-21 09:53:00 | Yikes. I was fiddling around with the screen options, and I pressed degauss. The screen had a fit and turned off. I restarted the computer and everything, and now its back on. But what does degauss actually do?? And yes it is on 9300k or whatever |

| 63805 | 2002-07-21 10:10:00 | Degauss puts out a pulse of 50Hz electromagnetic field from coils around the CRT to demagnetise it. This gets rid of colour blemishes. Cutting to the chase, if the monitor is still dark on another computer and you have checked all the obvious settings then it is probably faulty. Try taking it to a TV repair shop for a quote as they often repair monitors. After all, in practical terms a monitor is just a TV without the signal circuits. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 63806 | 2002-07-22 04:56:00 | ah well. It would probably be better for me to get a new monitor | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 63807 | 2002-07-24 06:04:00 | Suggest you try your local TV repair place - it MAY be economic to fix, and is pretty certain to be a fault in the monitor. BUT check out their minimum charge beforehand, in case it does turn to custard RayTheTech |
