You did not mention the serial numbers of the monitors in question.

IBM had a recall program (not well announced) for 8513 displays in the
serial number range of 72-0000000 thru 72-0640000.

If yours are in that range, call your local IBM Service Center and discuss
ECA-017 with them.

If you have further questions, please send e-mail to frank@ut-emx

If yours are not in the serial number range mentioned above, I'd still call
and see if there is yet another recall.

One of the 8513 crts that we just had replaced is flashing and dying....

...another call to iBM.

Hope this helps some.

later
