This morning my computer monitor seems to have died. It's a Nokia 445pro, a monster 70lb, 21" CRT that's about 3.5 years old, and conveniently covered by a three-year warranty. :-(
It went down very sliently: it just started failing to power up. No fireworks. The green LED comes on, but without the loud demagnetizer sound. About three seconds later, the green light starts blinking rapidly, as if to confirm the malfunction.
I found interesting links about this monitor, and a nine-page service manual of some sort with circuit schematics. Maybe Mike Badger can fix it. Otherwise it'll be time to start hunting on ebay. I seem to have extremely bad luck with monitors. My last monitor, a Fry's special of some sort, died within its warranty period, and the replacement died about six months after the warranty expired.
