Hi.  A friend of mine is having a strange problem with his monitor and I was
wondering if someone on the net may have an idea of what is causing it.
The monitor is a monochrome graphic display Packard Bell monitor.  The model
number is PB 1272A.  He has it hooked up to an XT clone (IBC) with a Hercules
card.

The problem is that a faint amber glow (it's an amber monitor) is forming on
the upper right side of the screen.  The glow sometimes gets brighter and then
fades away again.  Sometimes the glow will flicker a bit.  The monitor is still
useable since the text is still brighter than the glow is, but the problem
is starting to get worse.  When it's at its brightest, the glow will cover 
almost half the screen, but that doesn't last very long (and the text is still
brighter).  Does anyone have any idea what the cause might be?  Someone
mentioned to my friend that some kind of magnetic field may have formed and
that the monitor needs to be de-Gaussed (sp?).  If this is true, how do you go
about de-gaussing a monitor?  Is it possible that it could be a problem with
the graphics card (doesn't seem like it)?  

The monitor is just over a year old and the problem has never occurred before.
The problem _just_ started about an hour ago, so it could get a lot worse very
soon.  If anyone has any ideas, please help.  Thanks.

George
