Title: Uh, oh
Post by: Hawkmoon on June 27, 2019, 06:20:40 PM: My monitor is making little electronic buzzing noises. Not constant, just random little "zzzt" ... "zzt" .............. "zzzzzzzt" type noises. No flickering screen associated with the noises.

Should I be expecting that I'm soon to be buying a new monitor?

Post by: TommyGunn on June 27, 2019, 07:34:05 PM: You will know when to buy a new monitor when you turn yours on and it shocks you. >:D

I suspect something will happen .... but the when/what, I dunno. ? ???

Post by: MechAg94 on June 27, 2019, 07:55:57 PM: Not knowing a damn thing about monitor internals, my guess would be maybe. Almost sounds like a higher voltage electrical switch or loose wire acting up. Could go tomorrow or next year.

I think I have a Russian phrase book here, somewhere. I'm good.

Looks like you accidentally downloaded the bug zapper app for Windows 10.

I thought only people under 30 could hear that?

Post by: 230RN on June 28, 2019, 02:36:57 PM: Thanks, Amy. I was about to suggest a high-resistance intermittent short due to dust or a dead bug. (Bug, as in insect.) Canned air might be worth a try.

Post by: WLJ on June 28, 2019, 02:46:06 PM: If the LCD panel is CCFL lit the CCFL inverter will often make that noise before going out. If the monitor has a built in power inverter the same thing applies.

No no no... It's the bug's screams as they fry that only people under 30 can hear.

Over the years I've seen a LOT of small, dead bugs in monitors and TVs.

Probably dust causing mini-short circuits.

We used to call those "Daisy Dukes."

Are the performances on these circuits public or private?

Am I allowed to hijack my own thread?

Speaking of Daisy Duke, has anyone seen what Catherine Bach (Daisy) looks like today? Yikes!

She's 65? She could have gone full Michael Jackson on plastic surgery to (attempt to ) maintain the youthful Daisy Duke look.

Age changes everyone.

She could also have eaten a bit less.

I understand that age tends to change our bodies. I weigh more now than I did when she was playing Daisy Duke. But I'm not in show business, and my legs were never insured for a million dollars.
