Someone told me that this is usually a power-supply problem -- namely, after
being in idle mode for a long time (say over 1 day), you'll see the screen
suddenly shrink briefly and then expand back to normal (accompanied by a small
cracking/static noise) when you just logged into the system (because switching
from being near-dark to total brightness will take a lot of power and if the
power-supply is not up to it, you'll see this problem).

So, I called Xerox up.  And they said that this could be a problem.  But they
said that there're 3 power-supplies -- 2 in the chassis and one inside the
monitor/console.  The one inside the monitor is called the high-voltage
power-supply.  Now, doesn't anyone know that it is usually this particular
power-supply.  The only problem is that this power-supply will have to be
replaced along with the monitor -- in other words, we'll need to replace the
entire monitor if the culprit is indeed this high-voltage power-supply.  Does
anyone have any idea how much it'll cost to replace this kind of monitor (on a
time & material basis) ?

Any pointers appreciated.
