Can someone help me with a problem? My SM124 monochrome monitor experiences
occasional periods of black out -- I'll be running something and everything
goes dark!  It lasts for a few minutes, then comes back on its own.  The
little green power indicator stays on, so presumably the power supply itself
is ok.  No, it doesn't seem related to a heat failure, since it can fail
soon after turning it on.  Cycling the power doesn't have any obvious effect,
and I have tried it in two different systems with the same result.  I haven't
opened this monitor, although I have adjusted others -- non-conducting
screwdriver in hand, other hand behind my back!  Where's the loose connection?
