No, I suspect (I'm a C.E.T.) where you made the mistake was in disconnecting it, no doubt while powered up on both ends of the connection. Now go find one of your old grammer school teachers and tell her you've been a bad boy & take the knuckle rapping she will dish out. :-) I suspect that in the process of unplugging it, a ground connection was the first to be opened. In that case the input electronics in the monitor, and possibly even the output stages of the video card are pretty historical. From your description its plain the monitor needs a trip to the shop, maybe even back to the factory shop, probably for a fresh copy of its video board. I'd test the video card in the computer with another monitor to see if it survived. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
