  Situation:  my roommate is bringing back a system with a Samsung VGA
  monitor (old, probably 4-5 years) that his father does not need after
  going the 486 route.  Yesterday, the intensity on the monitor went to
  hell.  No warning, just went to an extremely high level with no change
  in anything.  

  It seems to me that a component has failed (i.e., a cap or resistor)
  which has caused the intensity to rise to abnormal levels.

  If he turns the intensity down ALL the way, the monitor is readable in
  text-only mode, but fuzzes out in graphics mode.

  Any suggestions??  I'm an electronics tech, but have no exerience with
  television-type systems.  My best guess is that a resistor has failed
  open, but I no NOTHING about this type of circuit.

  Anyone know of a problem endemic to early Samsung VGA monitors, or know
  anything about VGA intensity circuits??

  Please rsvp via e-mail, as the traffic level on this group is VERY high.
