Now, I found this monitor in a dumpster, so I expected it to have some problems. When I powered it up and it displayed a crystal clear picture, I thought I would have no worries, and it replaced my old 15".
A little while later little lines would appear thru the picture. They would eventually clear up. I thought perhaps that was why the monitor was binned.
Now the monitor will cut out with no warning whatsoever. I had to go back to my old 15" blurry mess yesterday (although I swapped them back today, and have had no problems).
It would cut out after perhaps a minute. I'm thinking that something in there is heating up and expanding, but then the video signal is getting cut off.
When I crack this baby open, where should I start looking first?

Anyone? It's getting rather annoying.

I'm not sure if this gets thrown around on this board a lot (just checking the monitor board tonight cause i'm bored at work on a shift i don't normally take). Have you looked through the alt.sci.tech tv / monitor repair FAQ? everything i've ever had problems with was in there. I focused the 21" mag i found in a dumpster (and it's now my cab's monitor!) and i've also found a few other helping tips in there.

I just checked out alt.sci.tech, and there were eight messages - all Spam. Where is the FAQ?

Bumping so BillyJack will see this.
