You didn't say how big the monitor was. If it was a small one and more than a few years old, it may not be worthwhile fixing regardless. I have two 14" monitors (for 2 'puters) and I WISH I had your problem so I could justify buying a bigger screen! Just for comparison, 2 years ago I got a 14" Compaq Presario V410e monitor from Staples for $99. The vertical position control is a little flaky so if ANYTHING else goes wrong the monitor goes to the dump and I get myself a bigger screen. But before you trash it ensure that it wasn't something very, very simple like the connector to the computer being loose, etc. If you monitor is one of the newer ones that "talks" to you, no picture at all is very, very bad news! Good luck. "Do H Yin" <doyin@surfree.com> wrote in message news:2rjhtsc46u4a31m956ei7pkee7kd64c1n5@4ax.com... > My Nokia monitor died a few days ago.
