Evenin all,
My monitor has started making a really high pitched noise (the speakers are switched off - its the actual monitor that making the noise :confused: ). Its not very loud but its giving me a headache.
The only thing I could think of doing was deguasing (sp?) it but this made bugger all difference. Has anybody got any ideas?
Its a Compaq monitor - about 2 years old and is running at 85Hz.
:spanner:
Cheers
Give it a forceful adjustment with the palm of your hand :lol:
Usually it is a dry joint, which can be a bugger to find.

I had already tried the method of "fine tuning" it with my hand ;) but it doesn't stop it.
The noise is really wierd - it seems to get louder if a popup appears until I close the window :confused: :confused:
Time for a 17" TFT then.............:dddc:

sounds to me like your tube is on it's way out, have you not noticed any strange things other than the noise like the picture fading away in the corners?

I havent noticed any other issues with the monitor. Its only a couple of years old so I'll have to dig out my receipt and see what kind of gaurantee they gave me.
It doesn't seem to be doing it today :confused:
I'd still guess at a dry joint.
Is it a bit cooler where you are today?

i work in retale and i happen to know if you investigate on the right of the buyer you will find that any item that is under 5 years old and is accompanied by a recipt then it is under what is called a repair warenty which means the shop has to send it away to be repaired at there cost but i would recomend you go in with the printout from the goverment site as not many people know about that law so sssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!.
