When I woke up the computer this morning, the monitor made a number of popping sounds somewhat similar in sharpness and volume to the sound a cap pistol makes. (I had hit a key in passing and gone into another room before the noise started, and at first I thought that it was coming from outside, maybe the neighbor breaking up some limbs for disposal.) When I watched the screen I noticed that every time the sound occurred, the image dimmed and shrank like the picture on an old TV when you turned it off. Eventually after I turned off the monitor for a few minutes and turned it back on it seemed to work properly, and it has been doing so for the better part of a couple of hours now. I'm guessing that the problem may have been that it was so warm yesterday afternoon and last night that I left a couple of windows open and this morning the humidity is very high I later found some places on the wall which felt cool and damp to the touch so I'm hoping that the problem is related to that, but I thought I'd let some folks know in case it turns out to be something more serious, because if the monitor fails completely now I don't know when I'll be able to replace it . . .
