I've just installed a new monitor (old one high voltage ps died).
Occasionally, the image will contract to a blindingly bright horizontal
line in the middle of the screen with the rest of the screen black.
Sometimes it recovers by itself; cycling power on the monitor has
always worked so far.
If I recall my CRT electronics correctly (and it's been a long, long
time), this suggests one of the vertical control components of the
monitor is faulty.
What is the phrase I am looking for to describe the failing component?
Can this be caused by anything other than a failure of the electronics
in the monitor? If so, by what? (Video card is a almost four-year old
GeForce 2 MX.)
Thanks.
