[G4] monitor problem

[nagable at comcast.net]

Hi Judy,

>From the sound of it, I'd say it's toast.  If you have a degauss button on the controls you can try that.  But it sounds like the electron gun is shot and you're just getting the green gun and then the red gun after the click.  The blue gun is not working at all and they're not coordinating.  

The QuickSilver (I have one) has a monitor conection for a flat-panel LCD monitor, and they're pretty reasonable these days.  I'd go for that (I already did--I got a Acer from Staples).

Nate
