One of mine went pop a year or so ago, basically my printer is above my pc / monitor and I had loads of sheets of paper sitting on top of my monitor - covering the air vents :o

Got too hot, and I was sitting in the other room and heard a large bang / pop noise - came in, blank screen, the smell of burnt stuff and a bit of smoke coming out the top.

My monitor atm, is a bit fucked - it sometimes flickers and images go yellow and basically fucks up.

I want to get a flat one next.

could be the transformer they go and overheat or dry spot the board so it doesnt connect right
take to a tv reapair shop for a free estimate if its just dry spotting shouldnt cost much if its the transformer for the couler guns get a new monitor

Treat yourself to a new one and ditch the dangerous dicky thing. Rather that than it catch fire, I've seen it done :thumbs:

if its getting as hot as you say & its shutting itself off - get it fixed if under warranty or replaced ASAP

it could catch fire!

didnt come with a waranty as got it out of a clissified advert in local paper bout 8 month ago

My educated guess would be a knackered monitor......if it's within warranty, try taking it back?

rite often en i have bin on the computer for a while say.....hour and a half the monitor will switch itself off i feel the top of the monitor(wher all the vents are in the top)
and it is red hot

if i leave the monitor for half an hour or so it will cum back on and be orite for another while

could anyone think wot it could be:thumbs:
