KDS 19" monitor problem
I have a KDS XF-9b monitor (19") that is about 14 months old. Recently it
started having a problem that I will try and describe. After it has been on for a while (less time required lately) the screen will almost blank out for a millisecond or two, then it comes back to normal. This is usually preceeded by an electrical snap. Now I am also getting a series of snaps when the monitor first comes on or out of standby mode. I have tried degausing and I have also removed the cover and blasted away all the dust I could. No change in the symptoms. I'm no electronics tech, so I gues I am hoping for a possible "dummies" fix. I hate to go shopping for a new monitor when this one is only a little over a year old. Your help is appreciated! |

Not quite enough information for a solid conclusion (no fault of yours), but you've given a good enough description to tell me that possibly it's a malfunctioning/intermittently shorting CRT. A shop may be able to take care of this by "buzzing" the CRT (cleaning the cathodes and/or blowing away the short with a device designed for that purpose), but it's a crapshoot at best.

Larry,
Your monitor comes with 3 years warranty , check this site for more info. http://www.epinions.com/pr-KDS_XF-9B...ay_~full_specs Best wishes Cyrus |
Thanks for all the feedback. I was digging through my reciepts and manuals
looking for the warrantee info before I made this post. I found the owners manual, but there isn't any warrantee info in it. Of course I haven't found the receipt yet either. I'll keep looking and hope for the best. Since this baby was on sale for $99 bucks after rbate, maybe I got what I payed for :( |

They might cover it just based on the serial number. |

I've seen similar with a hard disk drive...if the manufacture date was within the warranty period, the warranty status was obvious, and the company (Fujitsu) honoured the warranty. Tom |
