This is magnetic interference caused by having 2 CRTs to close together. My 17", 14" and 12" monitors all argue with each other magnetically and I have to have them at least 1m apart. The only way to stop it is a large sheet of magnetically active metal. best just keep em apart, unless you have a large piece of sheet steel you can slip between them :). > 3) Is there anywhere well known in the UK where I can buy the > replacement > battery for the LC475? Maplin, CPC or Rapid Electronics. Possible also other electronics places. Those 3 are where I have sourced mine in the past. if you need a definition it's a 1/2 AA 3.6v Lithium computer memory battery. I can supply a part number for CPC and Rapid if you like. > I tried PC world and after the sales guy took the > dead one and went off for half an hour to "Look for it" he came back > with a > packet of AA's from the shelf!
