my monitor is making strange noises :S

We had a TV and a light bulb explode during a series of frequent power surges. Destroyed the power supply on one of our computers too, but the surge protectors saved the other computers.

They don't explode, the implode. (Tubes implode because it's the TV tube is in a vacuum)[/QUOTE]Well technically [img]smile.gif[/img] they implode first but then they explode [img]smile.gif[/img] We had glass three feet away from the tv [img]smile.gif[/img] . I never heard of a flyback going that far out of whack [img]smile.gif[/img] .....usually I just replace the TV or monitor when it reaches the point where the sound is driving me insane [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Jeez Z. I didnt know you knew how to use a soldering iron [img]smile.gif[/img] kind of a lost art, now its easier to just buy a new item rather than fix it.[/QUOTE]Oh yeah, I go to radio shack for my stuff!

The reason I wanted to keep this TV is I LOVE it's features and the way it'ss designed. but now, I just bought a 51 inch HDTV (Widescreen) Projection... Moving the old TV to the Computer room. (This TV is 13 years old) and has S-Video! Rare in those days!! I use Comp. Plugs now, on the HDTV.

Just give it a good hard slap from the top: fixes almost anything; made my HTML work once

hhmm, if something in my monitor is loose, I don't think it will be a good idea to slap it

lol, I have my suspicions about HTML. I think it's alive or something. Once when I was making a website for someone I had a table inside a table inside a table and the code was correct! - but it didn't work. After cursing at the HTML for quite some time. It decided to work all of a sudden.

Oh definately use a good surge protector on any expensive electronic device.
I have an RCA TV that is like your 13 year old model..I boutght it in 1992 and keep it around because I like it, even though I have a couple of newer models..Ive been looking at the HDTV models but won't have the room untill I buy my house.

As for soldering I fix everything from mixers, to an iron to telephones. I don't use the skill much any more but I still have the tools.

Well this can also be caused by two monitors standing to close to eachother ... the magnetic (i think) fields effect eachother!@
