Re: monitor is dark

Just a thought, but is it possible that something is leaching the power? I have a multi box for my vcr and dvd to the tv. When the signal is going from the dvd to tv AND dvd to video, the picture is very dark on the tv. When the signal is from dvd to tv its fine.

Re: monitor is dark

I'm afraid it sounds like you need to do two things, Isam24.

* Drop that monitor into a repair shop to get checked and fixed or replaced if necessary.

* Rearrange the electricals or put some sort of guard around them so that baby can't get near the things. I'm glad it was your PC that got fried and not bubs!
