Please help:
If I'm in the wrong newsgroup / heading please direct me
in the right direction. Below is a question I posted about
my monitor. I understand it's a hardware issue (i think)
and if there's a more appropiate place to look for help
please let me know. The easy way out is for me to buy
another monitor, but I'd love to know how to fix this one.

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
