- This problem is identical to one experienced by Apple 13" RGB monitors
- (also made by Sony).
- The culprit is a faulty high-voltage capacitor.
- For those who don't yet know, Apple has extended the repair warranty
- for this particular problem, for all 13" color monitors manufactured
- from March/90 to July/91.
