I am unable to read the documentation that accompanies my SVGA card.

My Suziba monitor died 2 months after the warranty expired and  I am told
that Suziba will fix it for $100 but it will cost me $50 at least to ship
it both ways and will take a while. I can have a local place that repairs
monitors look at it for $45, which will be applied to the repair cost, which
is estimated to be $185.

It occurs to me that if the local place (which never heard of Suziba) can
fix it, then what is wrong with the monitor must be quite trivial, like
a burned out diode or something else that can be fixed for about 15 cents
if you know what to look for.

Both my inability to read the docs for my SVGA card and my helplessless
with the monitor are related to my complete ignorance about monitors.
A friend of mine tells me that most monitors use essentially the same boards
and these are almost interchangeable. That, he says, is why it doesn't matter
that the local place never heard of Suziba.

So I would be interested in knowing about books that will inform me about
monitors, about the boards that go into them, about the video cards that
work with them, about how to troubleshoot and fix them, about how to 
get replacement parts or boards and so on.
