I have an Apple RGB monitor (nearly 2 year's old) which periodically refuses
to power on.  The indicator light blinks momentarily when power is applied
and then remains off.  It appears that there is some protection circuit
coming into operation.  Other similar monitors on campus have also shown this
behaviour, but because it is extremely random we have not yet tracked down the
source of the fault.  Yesterday my monitor did not want to operate at all and
in desperation I arranged to send it off to Apple to be repaired.  We had
swapped the power supply with a working unit and that did not solve the
problem.  This morning it was working as if nothing had happened.  Any
information as to what could be the likely cause would be greatly appreciated.
