Occasianally goes to completely White screen w/ soft faint vertical lines.
Usually happens after computer goes into power save, but still happens now that I disabled power save.
Powering off and on only rarely corrects it.
Leaving monitor off for an hour helps more often.
Check capacitors that filter the signal from de character generator ic. Unsolder it or them if there are more than one (usually are of 220 micro and test it with an analog tester. If ok, look for the datasheet fo the IC and check if the vcc pin keeps energized when the monitor is on save mode.
U might not have enough power from your PSU..
i dont know but i have the same problems with lines.. and it only has lines when i connect it to an old computer.
When i connect the same monitor to my new computer.. i cannot see these lines at all... =))

Screen goes white at random times during start up, when it remains white no matter which buttons I press (except off/on, when it goes black, then back to white). The Windows desktop image can sometimes be seen when viewed from the side but is incredibly faint. These "white outs" happen about one in five start ups. Occasionally I can get it to work by pulling out the power cord from the back and reinserting it.
Only once has it failed during use, at which point, having nothing to lose, I threw it onto the carpetted floor, whereup on started working again. Since then I can sometimes get it to work by whacking it VERY hard on the frame edge. I have dismantled it several times to look for loose connections but everything seems ok inside at a macro level.
