There is a service which does the excellent repair job on component base level
for any PC monitor, Mac, power supplies, etc. Their rates are quite reasonable.
They do not have a bench fee but there is a flat charge $95 for any color 
monitor, Mac+, SE etc. and $60 for monochrome ( parts as CRT, power transformer,
and flyback are extra, a tube regeneration is included).
The repair time is also very fast, usualy 2 days ! They do not take the credit 
cards, however a check is O.k. 

Next time give them a call !
