53011	2002-06-07 10:06:00	Hi, for no apparant reason my Philips 105s monitor is adjusting itself. A small onscreen display keeps appearing which shows the contrast settings with a + and -. It then proceeds to count down by itself until it reaches zero and the screen is black. If I push the + button it resets to 100 but starts dropping again. If I bring up the main menu, whatever is hightlighten starts moving towards the -. I have checked in the monitor for the - button being stuck in but its ok. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mark	Guest (0)

Failing that, check to see if anyone in your household has started speaking in strange voices, spining their head around and vomiting >:-) Callum	Guest (0)

If this is the case, it might dry out in time - or it might corrode away the switch . This would be fairly simple to replace, if necessary . Other possibilities would be a failure in the control circuits, or faulty joints or similar in the line or power sections of the monitor causing interferance with the proper operation of those control circuits . Faulty joints are again easy, but after that it gets nasty . . . Best of luck !	Guest (0)
