> What are the two monitor models #s and manufacturers ?

The first monitor that went dead, black screen of death is a Radius 19 
" multi-scan color monitor (model # Radius L-1).  The other monitor 
that we just got that is not dead, but it clicks like the one that went 
dead is a KDS 17 " High Resolution Color Monitor (model # VS-7P).
