<note to self... remember to proof read before posting>
Normally I'd just tell them to write it off but the user is obviously
quite sentimentally attached to their monitor so....
B&W 17 " monitor - that when turned on via the front switch emits a
loud crackling noise (much like an electric insect zapper) and gives
quite a display of electric sparks arcing across the upper grill then
the monitor shuts it's self off.
The first thing I did was to look up at the ceiling to see if there
had been a leak or something but couldn't see any thing nor does the
monitor its self show evidence of spillage or other foreign matter
having entered the inner workings.
Any ideas or suggestions including ball park $$ damage from taking
it to somewhere like Diamond Video & Visual?
...still think it should be written off, never liked taking risks
with high voltage devices.
