- I've been told by the local electronic maintenance folks that monitors
- often have an internal brightness adjustment (I suppose it's a potentiometer
- on one of the circuit boards), although I've never mucked around in there
- myself. Isn't there a big, nasty capacitor in there, waiting to zap you?!
-
- Anyway, this might give you an avenue to pursue... I recommend getting
- expert advice, though - "no user serviceable parts inside" and all.
