it sounds like something (the high voltage most likely) is arcing inside. if you know an
electronics guy it's probably and easy fix (probably cleaning/insulating things), i would
recommend against opening it up if you aren't familiar with electronics and monitors, they
have many, many high voltages inside often connected to metal heatsinks which can stay
"hot" even after it's unplugged (there are capacitors which hold a charge and sometimes
the crt itself does as well, usually 25,000 Volts or more...).
we have a g4 quicksilver with a 17" formac gallery monitor. t
Good advice, except the formac gallery is an LCD...<http://www.formac.com/p_bin/? cid=solutions_displays_gallery1740_01> 8-)
It may well be the power circuitry in the ADC section of the monitor, since the problem travels with the monitor. If not repairable cheaply, you may be able to salvage at least the monitor section via a ADC-DVI adapter connected to the DVI port of your video card (if it's got one, it'll depend on the card)
