I was having trouble with my 6 year old monitor. Sometimes
it would turn on and others it would not. Same thing when
i did the "self test". I have since bought a new monitor
(9 months ago). I'm now looking to add a new computer to
our home and would like to see if i can clear up the issue
with the old, fickle monitor so I can use it with the new
system and not have to buy another new monitor. Every time
I plug it in and it does the self test it's starts up /
turns on fine. I'd hate to pass up the new monitor pricing
that you get with a system, only to find the fickle
monitor is still fickle. Is there any way other then the
self test to know for sure it's going to be OK?
Thanks,
bob
