Monitor Blew UP..

[crownvic]

I just got a Compaq Monitor from GOODWILL 17inch for $6.99 hooked it up and it worked great for about 30 minutes.
Then the Screen went really dark and PUFF smoke came from the back, sounded like a lightning strike...anyone got any Ideas??
Also what is the return policy at GOODWILL??
Reckon I have any legal recourse since the smoke dis-coloured the wall.
I was gonna buy a set of tires for the car from them but I guess I better HOLD OFF and see what their attitude is on this matter.
Anyone fix Monitors..PM ME.:(

[crownvic]

Oh I typed this without a monitor so if i made anti mistakes please let me know.
thanks .
Vic. ;)

[WYATT]

No mistakes.

Return Policy: Simply put item(s) back into drop off box.

ROTFLMAO!!! :gg

[BrainDamage]

Elvis would be rolling in his grave laughing if he saw this message!

$7 for a monitor that does not work? What a surprise! Toss it back into the box like WYATT said and forget about it.

I just had a thought everyone! Since Crownvic has no monitor, he can't see anything that we type about him.

Hey Crownvic! :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg :gg You can't see this!


Oh CRAP! I'll bet Crownvic will be getting another monitor...

Um... Hey... Isn't Crownvic a nice guy! So generous to Goodwill! What a guy. I say we nominate him for a nobel prize.

-BrainDamage

p.s.
If the monitor lasted for 30 minutes, it only cost you .233 cents per minute. Not bad for a rental unit.

Dang you must work for Rent A Center....Just pennies a day!!! But wait till the rent to buy part comes up!!!!

Hey crown I have a 13 inch COLOR monitor that jesus used as a child..Vertical hold messes up now and then but it's free to you my friend..Just 50 bucks to ship..:eek:

[crownvic]

Hmmmm..
I got it working again.
Took the back off (4 screws)There was some Kinda Suction pad and a lead that attached to the Picture tube and it had come off.
Now I remember An old Timer that came out to fix my TV several years back and the same thing happened to my TV way back then.
Anyway the TV repair man asked me did I have any (Petroleum Jelly) and he put some on the back of this Big Suction type Cup on the back of it and stuck it back on and my TV worked.
I did the same for the Monitor and it's back Working..:)
Now My only question is???
I did'nt have any "petroleum jelly" so I used Axle grease so that being said..
Do you all think it will LAST?
If so HOW LONG?
Brain is the Expertise on this Kinda stuff but anyone with a Computer/Monitor degree will work for an answer.

I think I should have posted this in the PC forum i know I would have got more replies...
let me try it here first.;)

[crownvic]

Oh just to add the Axle grease meets NASA specs,so that may help you in the reply.
HI TEMP NASA approved patent#007
. Thanks ..

[chevy]

Axle grease has pteroleum jelly in it. It also has some monution oxide, papatiot glycerine sobot, biodis herpes, golin deflexion, and gyro carbon. Hope this helps.

[koiler13]

At least with all of the grease, now it will slide in the box better when it craps out on you again;)

[Bone Daddy]

Ahh I'm still going huh?

[bill41]

Hey next time it goes for a crap stick it on a fencepost and set your video cam up and then shoot it with a high powered rifle! (Don't forget to put a jar of gasoline or diesel fuel with a candle taped to the back of it behind it before shooting):D :D :D :D

[skinsman61]

the only thing returnable to goodwill is any electrical items no others at all no exceptions and then the electrical device must be accompanied by the orignal reciept
other wise just like they said put in donation box for some other guy to get some use out of it

Petrolium jelly? Man, that is one crazy idea.

Think about this... what type of material will petrolium eat its way through...

Why do you think it is common knowledge (if it isn't, it should be) that you do not use petrolium jelly on a condom.. any rubber or latex material will be eaten away by petrolium.

Using it on the suction cup on the monitor is NOT a good idea. While the process may be slow depending on the thickness (remember, condoms are very thin for your sensitivity too).

I would absolutely find a non-petroleum based product to keep the suction cup in place.

By the way, since I spoke of condoms above.. If you get the kind with pleasure ribs, wear them inside out for your pleasure too.

See, only here can we speak of fixing a monitor and safe --- in one post.

Boy Brain that was a stretch even for this forum, but you pulled it off...Very nice analogy..I'm so proud...

How am I ever going to use a condom again without thinking about Crownvic and his monitor problem? :eek:

[BrainDamage]

What is a 'tie'?

People who wear ties must do so because they are forced to.

I have not worn a tie, for any reason, since I worked for Rat Shack in the early 80's.

When I got married, I said NO TIES. I started my own company in 1982, and the first rule in my company manual was NO TIES ALLOWED.

Ties are not comfortable and do not promote a good working environment.. unless of course you are in the 'entertainment' business.. then a nice silk tie is fine if nothing else is worn with it.

Now why did you have to go and ruin it for all of us. I was going to wait until Crownvic woke up from being knocked out before saying anything.

Actually... if there is ANYTHING I know about Crownvic, he knows better than to mess with that stuff without a good ground.

Congrads Mechanic,, 4000 posts, pretty nice. I think 2000 were helping me when I was a NooB, Thanks for all you help and congrats again!!!!

Now CrownVic, Here is how to properly ground the spark plug wire thingy, make sure you have a good ground (ie grab a faucet or somethin') then set the wire on the 'ground' and with you bare feet step on that metal thingy in the suction cup, that should do it!!

[Mechanic]

Thanks PackerBacker, 4,000 posts only means, I have a lot of time to kill, glad to hear I might have helped someone.
This post reminds me of when I was young and out hunting with my Dad, I had to take a leak, and we were standing next to an electric fence, yeh you guessed it, Dad says pee on the fence, like a dumbass I did, well needless to say, I never did that again.

How did you arrive at that ? Are you a Physciatrist?
My Physciatrst thinks I'm perfectly fine after I get my Electric Shock therapy once a month. Messing with the High Tension lead on a monitor can be another form of Shock therapy and Shock therapy has been proven to cure physcotic behavior in some cases.
Manic depression is just in your head and can be cured in many different ways ..Shock therapy,Prozac and a combination of MAO inibitors can work wonders for people who need it. Some people get relief by smoking a Joint,i get relief by Shock Therapy..I don't do drugs cause they will mess your mind up..
50,000 volts is much better therapy especially when it's Direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC).
However I would'nt recommend anyone start off with 50,000 volts you need to start off with a 9 volt DC battery on the Tongue once a day and work your way up with different MFD capacitors.
However what works for some does'nt alway work for others and you need to discuss this type of treatment with your PCP before starting.
I can tell you i used to smoke and now this treatment cured me of that bad and addictive habit and my health as improved.
Hope this helps some out there that are suffering..
Wishing everyone all the best of health.

[Sgt_Stedenko]

I'd sooner take drugs than have 50000 volts going thru my nuts.

[mickey_finn]

Realistically the best way to really get the most out of electric shock treatment is to put the lead in your mouth and stand on a copper plate when you power up the monitor. Use 3 second bursts until you get used to it.
The petroleum jelly has a far too low melting point you should be using axle grease as someone else suggested, and in the case of other latex products (ribbed or otherwise) a naturallly secreted 'lubricant' works best. If that isn't available try nonoxypropanol. It is sometimes provided with the product.
I am a realist and think i could survive better on a maypop tire longer than on a $6.99 monitor. Try going upmarket and buying one from the thrift store for about $20.00 I bought one there for work and its flawless apart from a boot mark where a previous owner kicked in the front panel.

Lol...I once was working in a garage where the car salesmen would just come over and help themselves to your tools....so I rig this Champion spark plug tester up to the toolbox (Metal) and tape the switch down when we saw the sales guy coming....it used a G.M. hei coil so there was 40000 volts of pure spark coming from the wrench he grabbed at...it was too funny!:D :D :D

Sarge you misread my post I said to try it on your tongue first with a mere 9 volt battery. You are going to get someone seriously hurt by shooting 50000 volts through their Vital Organs.You ask your local Rat Shack manager if he's heard of "UNCLE Fester VICKSTER" ,if he's old enough he will remember ... I used to test batteries there before they had battery testers.

Folks only try this with advise from your Doctor and have a stress test run before doing this kind of thing.

We used to charge an ignition capacitor off of a spark plug wire and leave it lay on a desk top, never failed, some foreman would always come by and pick it up and play with it until he discharged it through his body.
Damn that was fun watching.

We used to do crap like that too.. we would wire a metal bed frame with voltage.. The person sleeping would eventually touch the frame and the resulting scream was always hilarious. Ah, memories of summer camp!

[cardmuncher]

Working at a car dealership I knew a newfie (no, really, he was from newfoundland) mechanic that would hold out his hand to you (to shake) while he had a sparkplug wire from an idling vehicle in his other hand.
Anyone that accepted his 'howdie do' was met with a fine jolt - but he showed no outward signs of the electrical discharge thru his body.

I stopped donating to Goodwill and the Salavation Army (yes, I spelled it that way on purpose).

I had a TON of stuff to donate when I moved into my new house last May. I had a leather couch and love seat. Each easily worth $500. We could not take them to the new house because they would have been way out of place with the new decor. We could have sold them, but did not have the time. So, I decided to call Goodwill to see if they wanted it. They said that they would not accept the couch or love seat unless they were in 'like new' condition and had no cuts, tears, or scratches. Being as the couches were about 8 years old, they had some wear, but very minor wear.. they still looked great.

Anyway, I was shocked that a charity would not take them unless they were like new. I told them that they were worthless as a charity organization and should be ashamed of themselves. People don't donate NEW or LIKE NEW stuff every time.. they should accept things for what they are.. Salvation Army gave me the same answer as Badwill.

Beggars that want to be choosers... Needless to say, I sold them instead and got $800 for the couch and love seat combo... Goodwill could have had $800 if they were not so picky / greedy.

I am pretty sure that tinsle branch is stuck inside of my kid's monitor. It may cause the monitor to work for short periods of time. Have you seen it? There is a second branch missing that I think fell into a printer.
