Here's the problem.
Each time i turn on the computer, then turn on the
monitor i get this strange "
Crackling and
zap-zap-zap sound coming from within the monitor.
After it starts up and comes to full brightness, i get these ocassional "Blank outs", where the monitor goes very dark, then brightens up again after a few seconds. This has been happening now for the past month or so. Is it dying?
This is not a LCD monitor, just a Sony tube one. I've tried to figure it out on my own, but i don't think its static discharge...
