    Here we go, first the hdd dies and now my monitor has gone "pop" (borrowed my son's spare for the time being) that's 2 items within the last few weeks, hopefully I will not suffer a third one in the next few weeks? [​IMG]

    That's the best thing you can rely on.... When no body have a cure for your problems, you remain your own solution... and that's by not giving up. :mates:

    Back on topic, i have a certain random clicky pop in one of my cheaper monitors too, i have two pairs, Dynaudio BM5a and Esi Aktiv 08 coupled to a Esi Aktiv 10s sub and one of my Aktiv speakers, sometimes right... sometimes left... but it's just a random click noise which pops, let's say like from 3 and 3 hours interval, but it's not loud. Sometimes when some workers plugged something in the electric socket of my kitchen in the past, i could hear some sound artifacts happening only when they touched the plug to bring it in or to take it out of the socket(and i was yelling at them to be careful, or else i kill them, of course). Check your plugs and see if all your stuff is optimally grounded. :dunno: But i'm not worrying about my Aktivs, they're pretty solid built and they don't look cheap at all, i can hammer them with a mace and there's a chance (a little one though) to break my mace on them. :rofl:

    Afraid my monitor (video) has completely popped, to be honest its been playing up for the past few months, and I have been working away from home for a few days, and thus with the pc not being switched on, it has finally given up. I have a feeling its probably one or two capacitors which have blown, but the problem is can I get replacements? (I am pretty good with a soldering iron) I will strip it apart later this week to confirm my suspicions, but I fear I will need to go and spend lots of pennies on a new one :sad:

    i'm a noob when it comes to choosing a good monitor. I been looking at monoprice monitors, it seem to be really cheap but i don't know how good they are.
