Psyonisis Posted April 3, 2002 Uhm, my monitor used to do that once. After a bit it literally fried itself. I could even see sparks and smell the melting plastic. I suggest getting a new monitor before your house burns down. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted April 3, 2002 Heh, that reminds me of when this computer monitor at school caught on fire. That was interesting =) 0 Share this post Link to post
skadoomer Posted April 3, 2002 electrical surge? Possibly, but if uour monitor starts to spark and smoke, you might have to consider the possibility of an electyronical failure. 0 Share this post Link to post
nightmare imp Posted April 3, 2002 Hmm, this reminds me of a time at school a few months ago.I was working on a computer, typing up an essay king Louis XIV, and I been working on it for three weeks straight, it was also part of some big project.Then the crapintosh computer froze on me and I suddenly lost it and pushed the monitor off the desk and it smashed onto the floor. I quickly fixed her up,the stupid frame came off almost and I heard a rattle.Heh, luckily no one knew it was me and it still works.But it makes this ratteling noise and the smell of electrical smoke. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted April 3, 2002 well it happened, my monitor died after one giant zzzzt... no sparks or smoke. i am guessing the tube fried. all the other internal parts were ok. except the tube and the part connected to the emitter. now i am useing this shity 14 inch. what a shame it was only 2 and it was a damn good monitor. oh well guess i will get a nice ass LCD 0 Share this post Link to post

Megalyth Posted April 5, 2002 Did you try opening it up and blowing the dust out with some duster? Just a thought, sometimes the solution is simpler than you would think. 0 Share this post Link to post
