Hello:

	I know I saw this posted a few months ago, but at the time I didn't
think too much of it as it hadn't occurred to me.  Well, now I am falling
victim to the problem. :-(
	Somebody out there knew what caused the Zenith monitors to start
into wave-mode whereby everything seems to turn to crap and have a view
resembling the snow on TV's high channels.  I have a Z-286 with a ZVM-1380
monitor and periodically I get this problem.  For a while I would just get
a period scrolling vertically down the screen, but know I get a wave effect
and I cannot do anything.  Any ideas as to if this is a monitor problem or
is it in the box itself?  I seem to think it's in the 286 sometimes as it
often doesn't help to turn the monitor off-and-on again, but then every now
and then it works.
	Any help is greatly appreciated.  Oh, I am no Electrical Engineer
at all, but I would like to know what you think is the problem for
maintenance/repair concerns.
	Thanks for your time.
