Our MacIIci has developed a monitor problem: after a couple of hours
being left on (usually happens overnight) it switches itself off.
The Mac itself remains active, and by a lucky stroke I managed to choose
"Shutdown" from the "Special" menu without any display.

Because power-cycling the monitor doesn't have any effect, it *looks* as
though its the Mac's fault (How does it switch the monitor off at shutdown?)
but we don't see this behaviour when we swap another monitor onto the mac.

The repair company can spot no fault (as usual). Has anyone seen anything
like this?
