My monitor = EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So every so often my monitor makes this hurendous ringing noise… Anyone know what’s wrong with it?

Crt?

Crt?

He’as asking if it’s a CRT (heavy, tube monitor) or LCD (flat panel, skinny).

Anyway my old CRT used to make a high pitch ringing noise in the summer when it would get too hot. I just opened a window and kept a fan on it after I turned it off to let it cool for a while. Not sure if that’s the problem or if it’s just dying.

Try hitting it hard ^_
I used to do that with my crt after getting soo annoyed and then it would behave nicely for a while.

Yeah it’s a crt…

Some slight force (smack the side of it) may correct the problem… temporarily. In my experience, and I’ve dealt with alot of monitors, when one starts making noise, that noise is never completely gonna go away.

If that’s the ONLY grief you have with it, your choices are simple: 1) live with it, or 2) buy a new one. That said, if it’s making noise, it’s probably getting old. If it’s brand new, take it back.
