Here's a quote from a BMUG article in MicroTimes:

"There's a recall program on Apple Color Hi-Res Monitors with serial
numbers: 7000001-7101012, 5378111-5624450, and 9000001-9029500. The
problem is a defective high-voltage capacitor that can cause
intermittent shutdowns of both monitor and Mac. The program runs until
March, 1993. If you paid for out-of-warranty service, Apple will
reimburse you if paperwork is processed by August 15, 199}i3. For more
information, call: [phone]."

You should be able to get your monitor fixed for free if it has
one of the above serial numbers even if you aren't the original
owner. Better get it done by March, though. Hope this info helps.
