Greg (and anyone else who is interested), We've seen three mono monitors in the last 2 months come into our store with a blown capacitor. I'm not the one with the EE degree, so I can't tell you which one it is. When we were going through the first one to check it out, we blew a couple more caps, and it made that snapping sound. Sometimes the video just shows a line, sometimes it's black when it happens. Was the green power light still on on the front? Anyway, if it's that same problem, it is fixable. You might try taking it to your friendly neighborhood dealer and asking him to look at it.
