Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81e Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all... well a bad couple of weeks on my hardware seems to be getting worse. Suddently, my monitor is "shaking". Basically, every 10 minutes or so (not regular) a small, rapid shaking happens. A slight brightness fade-in, fade-out sort of happens at the same time. The picture would appear to be moving straight up and down (by a really small amount, but enough to be REALLY damned annoying). Any idea what the cause could be?? This monitor has already developed a pretty serious case of ghosting, so I fear that this fit of shaking is my signal that "she's gonna blow!". It's a 17" MAG, about 3.5 years old I believe. Been a faithful monitor, but it's been going downhill at a break-neck speed the last 6 monhts or so. TIA for any tips, like "you can fix this by .." :-) -mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The newest book, The Dilbert Future, took a broader view, describing how idiots will threaten every aspect of business, technology and society in the future." --Scott Adams
