Dead Monitor I was using a dual monitor graphics card - an ATI Radeon 9800 with two monitors. Both monitors (Sony Multiscan 200X and GDM-FW900) began to appear to degauss intermitently - zoom in/out. This went on for several days. Also, my computer would shut off by itself occasionally. This shutting off became more and more regular - every 10 mins or so. One of the last times I booted up my computer my GDM-FW900 monitor made a popping sound towards the back of the picture tube and quit working. My second monitor quit at the same time. I tried replacing the graphics card with another card and the second monitor started fine except it still did the zoom in/out(like degaussing) thing. The GDM-FW900 would not start up again. Shortly after this problem the computer quit altogether and it was determined that the CPU had overheated and died. I have since found out that the ATI Radeon 9800 graphic card still works! The question is - What hapened to the GDM-FW900 monitor and can it be fixed? Do I have to send it back to Sony?
