Ha! Got the picture back. Wild. I guess only time will tell once again if
it will keep working, but just maybe this means I simply have a loose
connection inside.
So Dan, make sure to try giving it a gentle but firm slap, it just might work. Now I don't condone violence but mine responded to a hit on the left side. If it makes you feel better, you can say your sorry afterwards. -------
Although mine never went blank, I experienced this with two monitors - one a Apple 15" Multi-Sync that was repaired under a Apple recall that was extended and a Sony 400PS 19", which was also repaired under warranty (after it had expired several weeks) by Sony.
In both cases, a soldering point went loose in one of the color guns (sorry about the layman's term) and the blame went to a combination of manufacturing defect, heat and maybe rough handling during shipping that may have triggered the event. (I believe the Apple was bad manufacturing design that was vulnerable to heat.)
I decided it wasn't worth the trouble/risk attempting a repair on my own, costing around $70 to ship the Sony. The Apple I lucked out by just dropping it off at a shop.
