Dru Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 1)Theraband snapped in two this morning 2)Monitor just blew a tube, now using formerly retired 15" postage stamp sized screen monitor. Will my car engine explode as I go for coffee? This is not a good day to be a material object Quote
selkirk Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 The world just hates you today sorry. You should go back to bed, and fear 's when you see them. Quote
Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I fix monitors and stuff. Probably not the tube. What brand and model? Quote
Gidget Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Hey Dru, be careful! Bad shit always happens in threes. Quote
selkirk Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Your not having a 5 star day are you? It seems like every time I get hurt my horoscope tells me i'm having a 5 star day and everything is right with the world. Freakin psychics are never right! Quote

Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 The boards on those run a little hotter than some, resulting in ring cracks in the solder joints and dried out electrolytics. This causes the intermittent problems, til' something more critical pops. If you can easily afford it, replace it. If you want me to rebuild it, I will. Quote
Dru Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 I think it had something to do with the boss pouring water in the back grill while trying to water the ivy. It has never been the same since. I'd rather get a new one than fix the PoS. Quote
Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Water will kill it right away or not at all. I had a woman once whose tv had been acting up but started working better after she accidentally dribbled water in it. A few weeks later it started acting up again, guess what she did. What a joke! Anyway, I suspect your monitor probably has plenty of hours on it... Quote
