Your husband is a classic example of a PC user -- willing to expend many times the effort/time/stress/money of just replacing the damn thing with something vastly better. :) However, he's probably right that the flyback is the problem. I can't help you with obtaining a proper flyback but I wish you good luck. Let us know if your Dr. Frankenstein manages to shout "It's alive! ALIVE!" at some point. :) _Chas_ Come to ...
