[TriLUG] RE: TriLUG Digest, Vol 3, Issue 17

[Dave Sorenson]

Hey Lance, it sounds like a great excuse to buy a new flat panel! 8-)
 
Seriously, I have one that does something similar and it can be cooerced
with a nice slap of the hand on the side of the case. Been nursing it
for 2 years that way. Of course YMMV.
 
 I'll e-mail soon about getting together for a beer or dinner, I've been
too damn busy for my own good... Been playing with  W2K advanced server
and Exchange Server.. Will probably end up tyring to figure out Sendmail
as a permanent solution though.. Too much overhead for the poor little
AMD 400 I'm running it on... Hope things are going well! MAIH!

	Yesterday I came home from work, sat down at my computer, and
bumped my
	mouse to clear the screensaver.  When the normal image came up I
noticed
	it was continuously wiggling horizontally.  I hit the degauss
function
	on the monitor but it didn't help.  Since then I've checked
everything,
	including reseating the video card in the computer and reseating
the
	video cable.  No new electromagnetic sources have come into my
office
	space, either.
	
	The monitor is a Samsung 19" that is bout 2.5 years old.  The
video card
	is a GForce2MX400 bought shortly after the monitor.
	
	I've done all I know how to do.  Can anyone offer advice?  I'm
concerned
	that I'm loosing either the card or the monitor.

	Lance,
	IANAMR (monitor repairman), but it sounds to me as if this is a
monitor
	issue, such as a gun tracking problem. It is most likely
terminal unless
	you are willing to cope with the jitters or pay to have it
repaired,
	which is not likely to be cost effective.
	Condolences,
	Lee
	:-)

	Sounds like the horizontal drive capacitors are getting ready to
fail.
	They are relatively easy to fix and are often the first to go.
