That old dinosaur isn't worth bothering with. 14" was pretty small even in 1996. You'll find monitors are a lot cheaper now 12 years later. Trying to fix one is a waste, especially since your cathode coating has worn out. You can probably replace it with a 19" LCD for what you paid for the klunker back then. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
