well, if my monitor did not bite the dust, it sure missed a good opportunity to. I borrowed one tonight to check things out, so far all is well. After my last email last night..the screen faded so badly, and then I noticed when I would hold the sides of the monitor in the middle part the picture came back fine, I tried touching the screen as at first I thought that was making it clear up, but it was me lightly squeezing the sides of the monitor. Then all the sudden I noticed what looked like black at the top right screen, like something burned out. I immediately cut everything off, did not want any fires. I did not smell anything though. I did not try it again. Went and borrowed one. I do not know what happened to the monitor but so far it must not be the video card? christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 11:14 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: scrWill look at the cords, now I see no typing whatsoever.een going crazy again There may be another connector on the back of the monitor.
