O Noes!!! Teh Skreen Br0ked!!!111

[Keikan]

Ok i was trying to untangle some cords so i had to unplug my monitor from the electric and my computer. after I was done and i turned my computer back on the desktop screen shakes. kinda like when when u turn your mon off and back on and it shakes kinda like that but it won't stop, teh monitor is like shivering. how ever when playing a game or viewing video full screen iit doesn't shake

also is it some sort of metal reaction because i just put a stereo on top of the monitor

some games shake

[sparsely]

?
did you bend some of the pins on the end of the video connector?

[Keikan]

i looked no pins appeared to be bent and it fits into the plug with ease

[sparsely]

anyway, you shouldn't put unshielded speakers close to yoru monitor.
the magnets will fuck em up after a while.

[Keikan]

i knew it

oh fuck i took away the speakers and the scren is still shaking i think i've doon permanent damage?

[3RA1N1AC]

have you tried degaussing it.

[S!X]

have you tried degaussing it.

There's the answer right there. Is that the amplifier? Remove it from there!

While it's true that monitors with CRTs(picture tubes) are affected by electromagnetic interference, what you're experiencing doesn't sound like that.

I would suspect a failing capaciter in your horizontal sweep or power supply. Although, a failing/bad soldered connection in that same circuit can cause the same symptom. Try rapping firmly on the side, the problem may just go away. (bad soldered connections are a common problem in electronics and can appear or go away with no apparent reason)

Otherwise, it may need fixing.

BTW, by not having your monitor in front of me to physically check, I could be wrong.

the stereo was one of these

not a computer speakers

[Virtualbody1234]

So moving it solved the problem then?

[Keikan]

no the screen still shakes

[Rick Phlegm]

At least you won't have to bother with the visualisations in winamp anymore... :unsure:


If all else fails just keep jiggling the wires going into the monitor and from the monitor to the machine and see if that works. If not, take it to a repair shop cos it's probably just fucked.

[lynx]

Try increasing the refresh rate, that's probably what's happening when you play a game.

i have a sub next to my flat screen monitor. Is that bad for it? how do u know if it is shielded?

edit. the manufactures say mine are magnetic shielded and are suitable for pcs

flat screen is fine........

doesnt use magnets like a CRT monitor does, so it isnt affected by the magnets in your speakers....... shielded or not.......

[harrycary]

I suggest you reread my post and then make your decision.

FYI: it would be useful when asking for help that you state what type of monitor you have.

Unplug your monitors' power cord for awhile and also try it on another PC. At least eliminate the simple possibilities before you spend the money on a repair or replacement.

Oh did I mention to reread my post, I speak from experience in the electronics repair industry.

i think ive had tv like this. a smack tends to work for a bit

[Virtualbody1234]

Maybe try another electrical outlet. One where there are no AC adaptors.

[tesco]

LIke Lynx said, if it's changing in games then it must be something to do with the refresh rate/resolution that you are using.

[lynx]

a smack tends to work for a bitIt's about time you did some work, shall I come round and give you a smack? :shifty:

[Keikan]

i think it got worse

[Keikan]

omg i'm getting motion sickness with the shaking and its just the desktop

[Keikan]

ok i figured out what broked it, its not the speakers its the deck the cd/radio/tape thing once your move it a couple cm ding fixed but i have no where to put the stereo in my room other than the shelf on top of my monitor, will keeping it ther break my monitor?

Didn't I say that quite a while ago?

[Keikan]

oh thats what an amp is..

[bigdawgfoxx]

Cell phones near my screen always make it shake, watch out for that too

[Keikan]

ok now i used another computer with the same mon and the amp is still there the screen is normal, this is so fucking weird the other pc has so many problems
