Hi, I can't seem to catch a break... :-( I've got an Apple 17" Multiple Scan Monitor and it does something strange that I can't identify.
Sometimes it goes al funny in the sense that the screen gets brighter and the image is sort of stretched to the right. For example, when I click the Apple Menu, to the right of the menu there is a funny blur of very bright green and if there is text near the right of the menu (Like the arrow on control panels that allows the menu to expand) then that will get stretched too, but in black. It isn't like this all the time. Normally it comes on ok and is fine for a while but suddenly it does this and I don't know why. I thought it was something to do with being too hot (Sometmes you could fry an egg on the top) and thought about hacking the case and putting in a cooling fan. But it is not because of heat and if there was a heat problem then apple would have put in their own fan. There is no other monitors nearby. I would prefer not to have to open it because I am weary of CRT's and don't really trust myself not to get killed. :-) I have tried the colour sync control panel and monitors control panel. I am using it on a PowerMac 7200/90 with OS7.6.1. Actually, as I am writing this it is changing from good to bad, good, bad, good, bad and you get the idea. Another thing that might help is sometimes if you just sit and look at the screen you can see it flickering in brightness slightly. This is a massive monitor and the best one I hae with the exception of a Blue and White Studio display for the G3. So I don't want to throw it. If worse comes to worst, can I take it to an apple dealer and will they be able to help or is it too old? I have some other questions but I think I will leave those till later.
