I have a C2002 monitor on my A500 which is apparently subject to the 
  well-discussed 1084 popping effect.  There is one difference, though:
  when the monitor pops, it turns itself off.  The only way to get it 
  back on is to turn the power switch 'off' (causing the power light to
  turn ON for 2-3 sec., apparently as the built-up charge discharges 
  through it), wait a while, and turn it back on.  If the wait is less 
  than 5 minutes or so, the monitor goes into a cycle of rapidly 
  decreasing time-between-pops, eventually getting to the point of turning
  itself off every 45 sec-1 min.  

Will the 'fix' for the 1084 pops correct this, or is my problem something
  different?  I don't recall anyone else  saying they had seen this effect.
  And is the 'fix' for the 2002 the same as for the 1084?  I don't know
  how similar their internals are, so I really don't know where to look
  for the carbon deposits that cause the problem.  

Thanks.  
                                       Bill.
