The article refered to was in Amazing Computing and I can't recall the month,
but it has been three or four issues ago, which would make it June - August
timeframe.  (I'm not at home, or I would check for sure...)

I tried to do the fix myself and I couldn't ever locate the exact part 
that they were describing.  I would think that the next tactic would be
to take the monitor AND the ariticle to an authorized dealer and let them
try it.  The problem has to do with a fastener on a heat sink in the high
voltage power section.  I just couldn't find the said heat sink.

I would personally like to hear from someone who has successfully done this.

Good luck.
