Well, my Packard-Bell CGA monitor did the very same thing!  I
suddenly lost the power supply after a couple of months of use.
You think there's a pattern here?!  

The company was super about replacing the equipment.  Very friendly
and responsive tech support.  They gave me a new CGA monitor without
question.  But since I later purchased a VGA setup, the PB monitor
stills sits in the box.  I wonder what will happen now if I ever USE
that monitor. Hmmmmmmmm  Thanks for the warning.
