Monitor problem...

1 replies · 1,091 views · Started 02 April 2002

My monitor is clicking...a lot. When I turn it on after it's been off for a while, it'll make snap and click noises at odd intervals. Sometimes when it snaps, the screen will fitz or jitter a little. The problem goes away when it's been on for about 30 minutes, but even then it'll have little snapping fits.

It kind of sounds like it's degaussing repeatedly. However, when I actually degauss it from the menu, it makes no difference whatsoever...it still clicks and snaps like nothing happened. I don't see how it could be a dust problem...I haven't opened it up, but I did blow into the vents and use a vacuum to try and suck up any dust that I might've kicked up...this was from the outside of the case through the vents, of course.

Anybody have any idea what its problem is? Thanks in advance!

well I've heard of that happening before but I don't know a lot about it sry man. My guess is monitor probally needs a a nice R.I.P.
