KarmaTsunami Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 it's very thin, it goes away when i switch the monitor off....it's a CRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 buy a new one or put up with it are the obvious solutions; fixing it would cost more than its replacement i would suspect. you can get a new 17" CRT from North East Peripherals at the top of George St. for 75.

Hog Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Also, perhaps, check the connection. i.e. wiggle plug at the back of the screen (dont get electrocuted!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
