one port so I can see when I've got problems...) The tech had me <BR>
type reset-nvram and then reset-all which rebooted. So far the <BR>
problem hasn't happened again. I may take the monitor in anyway <BR>
since I have less than a week of AppleCare coverage left. The tech <BR>
left and spoke to his manager about the problem and came back and <BR>
told me that it is very likely the display that is causing the <BR>
problem. This is a known problem. If you got AppleCare on the <BR>
display I'd take it in just in case.<BR>

Thanks for the Information. I wonder to what extent the Apple solution applies to a 20 " non ADC connector LCD monitor. Anyway, I am not worried since I have 27 months left on my Apple Care coverage so I can afford to wait it out and see if the problem reoccurs. ,</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT></HTML>
