I have a Rainbow 100A monitor problem (I think).  Input from anyone
would be greatly appreciated.
 
When the system is powered on everything seems to check out, except the
monitor will not work (no display).  All of my error lights on the system
board are off and it seems to respond correctly to keyboard sequences
(e.g. dir, chkdsk, etc...) as far as I can tell without a screen.  Does
this seem like a monitor replacement situation?  Are there any workable
alternatives besides the $195 swap-out with DEC?  Again, any info at all 
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

P.S. I've disconnected and re-connected the monitor cables just to
see if it may be corrosion related...no luck.
