This is my fix too. I have a 17" Mac Studio Display monitor I bought with my B&W G3 in 1999. It conked out 2 weeks before my extended warranty was due to expire! My luck extended and I got it repaired free. Then a year later it gave the same death rattle and it now sits in the garage. In it's place is a great 17" Philips 107S monitor from Bestbuy that was on sale and had a rebate for $125. This store is less than 5 miles away too. Then there's a 17" Mac Studio Display monitor for $ 129 on eBay. One of these days I'll get an estimate from Computer Ware but they're a 40 mile round trip on 280 to get a tech look and charge the same $100 as you say. Used to be $ 35 to get an estimate and I use to fix TV sets by checking the tubes in a store around the corner that sold magazines, tobacco products, ice cream and had pin ball games too. How times change to now recycle a monitor that originally costs $ 499(-: Anyone know of any other options or monitor repair emporiums in the San Francisco Bay Area? Thanks.
