Hawk Daddy:
Well this is no longer and Issue, monitor is back working like normal, just got to figure out that darn resetting issue.

Using a magnet to degauss a monitor is foolish. A strong enough magnet and you will end up permanently magnetizing the metal mask (or other nearby parts) or even deforming it. Use the built in degauss function or purchase or make an external loop that uses alternating current and actually removes the magnetism instead of making the problem worse.

Well, I DID specify a refrigerator magnet, and those are usually barely strong enough to stick to the fridge, so I doubt they will damage the monitor.....
Oh... And unless he's got a newer-type monitor or Nintendo-style mounted in there, he's not going to have a built-in degauss function. If it's like most Galaga's, it will have a G07 or K4600/K4900 in there. But I agree it's always better to use the tool built for the purpose needed, and not just use whatever's handy....
