Solve : Degaussing my monitor? |
|
Answer» When my 10 year old held a powerful egg shaped magnet to the 2000 Dell 16" monitor there APPEARED three halos of color red green and gray. There is a knob on the outside that resembles waves of energy intersecting and it pushes in and sticks and/or unsticks in an out position, BUT it doesn't seem to clear up the screen's distortions. How can I clean up my kid's mess? Sincerely, Grampa Graskrl Get the magnet back from your kid and use it to reverse it. It can be KIND of tricky, but try to imagine you are directing an orchestra. Start from a distance and move the magnet around at that distance to WATCH the colors go back and forth. Once you get a feel for what the magnet is doing, get a little closer and try to work the colors back out of the screen. Push the colors away with the magnet. After you get the colors worked out, throw the monitor away and get an LCD. They aren't affected by magnets. Where I'm from you can usually borrow/rent a degausser from stores that sells TVs... I'd find a store that has one.A few methods are avaliable here: http://www.wikihow.com/Degauss-a-Computer-Monitor No guarantee on how well they work. ...or just get an LCD Screen at www.newegg.com.

This would be a practical solution if the user needed more DESK space... Great used cathrod tube monitor, $0.08 at CompUSA closing out sale (thats seriously what we got ours at) |
