Has my monitor died?

meta · 11th December 2002, 02:54 PM

Hi, my main monitor (using me old 15" inch now :/) has suddenly stopped working. Instead of turning on it's just making a clicking noise - like it's trying to spark inta life but it's just stayin dead and not coming on...

Is this fixable?

Cheers

Sure it is fixable, but it would probably cost more to fix than a new one. I see used 15" monitors for $20 and under in the US ALL the time. 17" monitors are getting that cheap now, too.

The things are so big, heavy, and hard to pack, they aren't worth shipping anywhere, so when someone has a spare, it is either trashed, given away, or sold very cheaply at a flea market. Look around, ask around. I'm sure you can find a working monitor for next to nothing...
