Ominous Ticking from Monitor
My monitor (a DEC 21" CRT, older than dirt) has started to give sharp,
static-discharge type audible ticks, which are accompanied by short distortions of picture and dimming. The picture distortion lasts for a refresh cycle, the dimming can take a few cycles to disappear. When I power off the screen, I hear a number of these ticks happening, one after the other, tapering off. Where do I begin to look for a solution? Google has not been much help. Thanks! |
Ominous Ticking from Monitor
Could be a number of issues. From leaking capacitors to a genuine short
somewhere in the chassis releasing bits of electricity. The only way to know for sure is to have it open and plugged in which I don't suggest to anyone without a basic electrical understanding. In other words it's time to lay this CRT to rest and invest in a cheap LCD. Not the ultimate in performance but a true upgrade for now. And you can even pick up a cheap one from a local store nowadays for 100 bux. `Mr. Smith "I.C. Koets" wrote in message ...
