Since my recent move, my Samtron monitor has decided to go pink on me every
now and then. Not red, just a deep pink, for no apparent reason. The first
time, I wiggled it a bit. The monitor, that is. It came back. It acted up
again and took more than a wiggle - I had to give it a firm tap. Again,
everything was OK. So now it's gotten to where I have to give it a hard slap
before it settles down. Personally, I don't mind slapping it, but the sound
startles my wife who looks at me kind of funny, afterwards, like it's tube
abuse. What do you think - am I stuck with a dying or masochistic monitor? Is
what I'm doing considered tube abuse? Should I tell my wife to mind her own
business? Why do these things always happen to me? Thanks.
