- Hmmm, well I had exactly the same problem about a month ago. Turned out
- that it was caused by a fan that I had turned on which was about 5 feet
- away from my NeXT but the air was hitting the side of the monitor. This
- shaking disappeared when I turned off the fan. Took me a couple of days
- to make the correlation considering the fan was so far away but once I
- changed the direction of airflow, all was fine. :-)
-
- Of course this may not be your problem but you might want to see if
- something isn't all of a sudden blowing into the back or side of your
- monitor in which case the fix is quite simple.
-
- Hope the problem is as simple as that, weird and silly but true.
