tlug: monitor flat-lined

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you all with a non-Linux question, but this
concerns the system I was planning to install TurboLinux on.

It's an old 486 with win 3.1J that I was planning to add a SCSI
external drive to and load TurboLinux, but when I turned it on
this evening - disaster! The monitor displays a 1 or 2 pixel
flatline across the center but nothing else. I can see the color
changes when windows kicks in and all the hard drive buzzes and
beeps are the same but no joy.

Does the flatline mean I'm off to buy a new monitor, or is there
some way to bring this back to life?

Regards,

Jim S.
