Yes I have had similar experience with a monitor purchased about that time.
A very good NEC technician at an authorized NEC repair center in San Jose
told me (before looking at the monitor) that NEC had gotten a bad batch of
a particular diode and many monitors were failing for that reason.  Because
of the high rate of failure due to that component it was running in short
supply.  We decide to time how long it would take to repair the monitor and
it was just under 9 minutes.

That was a year ago.  The monitor has worked every day since then.
