My 5 month old MacPlus has recently developed a problem with the CRT.  
After the computer has been on for a while, the slightest touch will
cause the CRT to go black.  I can sometimes bring it back by tapping
the Mac on the left side.  I took it into my local Apple dealer and
could not get it to fail.  He re-soldered some joints on the analog
board anyway and said that it should be fine.  I took it home and in
less than 3 hours it started going black again.  I immediately took
it back to the Apple dealer who still has it and cannot get the CRT 
to go black.  This all started happening when I moved my lamp
from the right side of the Mac to the left side.  It is an incandescent
lamp with a 40 or 50 watt bulb.  I know that the lamp shouldn't make
any difference, but I can't find any other explanation.  I did
have the Apple dealer install a 2M Upgrade kit about 2 months ago
but he said that he checked the simms and they were fine.  If you 
have any ideas/suggestions please respond by email.

						Thanks to all...
