If the "LC 475 monitor" is just about anything other than the 14"
Trinitron then Apple don't supply parts - they're throw away jobs! We once
tried to have Performa Plus and Apple colour displays repaired by a third
party maintenance provider, in one case they said no and in the other they
said they'd fixed a focus problem, charged us 60 quid and the problem
returned within 2 months.
