Ok I have been practically laughing at this thread... from what I understand, 2/3 of the posters may or may not know what they are yakking about. Second most people are from the school of thought that Wiggling, Jiggling or whacking the cord or monitor will remedy the situation. And some even go so far to suggest the Average person put on their surgical gloves and fool around inside the computer Monitor. LOL electrical surgery. That should be fun... Hope you enjoy losing your Limbs when they fry on your limp electrocuted body. Here's my 2¢. The Thing doesn't work. Its either on its last leg or its close to being dead. 99% of the electronic Crap in the last 4 years was designed to work for 6 months. Sorry. but thats Life. Deal with it. Go dig up some coins from under the couch and buy a new CRT. Since LCD's are all the rage, getting a CRT isn't hard. I work with graphics almost every day for my home office graphics business. I buy the best gear to do the job... One reason I got a Mac and am on this List. Buying the best doesn't mean I gotta waste my money. Go to Costco, or Sam's Club, or Large Mart or Buy More and get a new CRT. 19" isn't too shabby. Doesn't matter the brand, most will have a VGA plug or DVI plug. Buy, Plug in, and enjoy. P.S. A lot of what I wrote is sarcastic. If you are overtly offended, Sorry. But this thread has gotten weird to read.
