   I had this problem with the first Apple Color monitor I got which was
in Nov. 1987 (the first crop). After a while it started making LOUD POPPING
NOISES (with sparks) and scared the hell out of me. I took it in for service,
they 'fixed' it. I took it home and it started doing it again. I complained
again and they replaced the monitor. I haven't had any difficulty
since. 
   Better safe than sorry.
