sorry I can't respond by email; seems my host doesn't like your address.

Anyway-
Yea, that happened to me too.  It was usually proceded by what is best
described
as "screen sparking" in intervals of around 2 minutes.  Apple told me that such
screen sparking was normal during "break in" periods, but I told them my
monitor
was over 2 years old.  Turns out, there was a capacitor out of whack in the
powe
r supply.  I paid $97 for the repair.  It's probably best to have the monitor
repaired by some technician, since it's a really cheap repair.
