Be aware that some repair shops charge a fee to provide estimates that is
applied to the repair charges if they get the job. Labor charges may run
about $50 or more an hour plus parts and a minimum one hour charge may
apply. Be sure to ask lots of questions before you let a technician touch
your monitor.
