Keywords: Help! Monitor vibration damage Message-ID: <5140@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> Date: 5 Jan 89 03:07:06 GMT Organization: Princeton University, NJ Lines: 22 Hi net! I have a somewhat nasty problem. Recently, my Mac II Applecolor RGB monitor was being moved out of storage, and due to circumstances we need not go into, it got dropped and suffered a shock. It was in its high-impact polystyrene neato Apple official packaging, and suffered no VISIBLE damage, and the picture is fine. However, it has developed a nasty trait: When it is powered up after being 'cold' (i.e. off for more than two-three minutes or so) it produces a LOUD vibration, which drowns out the usual Mac II chord and sounds as if a moving part is involved. I know of no moving parts in the monitor, at least none that might produce this, but does anyone out there have any ideas? I don't know how to escribe the noise better; it lasts from between a half second to a second, almost like a wheel that was scraping hard against a surface was coming up to speed. Excpet that it is definately a vibration. Ah well. As usual and of course, thank you very much for any information y'all might have. -JBZImmerman! -- ___________ | "If there's anything around here more important || | than my ego, I want it caught and shot now."-ZB || ||acob Zimmerman!+> INTERNET === | BITnet
