Thanks for the comments everyone. I have donated the monitor to Goodwill. Lets hope they manage to fix it and it finds a good home. It is a really good monitor. Just that it was a pain to keep it on my narrow desk. My Samsung 215TW is great. Equally good picture quality and much better form factor.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Is it easy to fix this? Expensive? In parts or labor? I will be giving this to local charity which refurbishes the computer equipment. I will mention it to them

Just beginning of starting windows It works only if VGA connector is disconnected before I start the monitor, wait for a click and sound of degaussing and then I connect it. If monitor is connected when I am turning the power on the it just keeps clicking It also does the following, when the system is running (computer is on, monitor is connected and running fine), if I disconnect and connect back the connector then display goes blank and it keeps clicking. On the other hand, when the system is running, if I disconnect the monitor (display is working), shut off the monitor, turn it back on, wait to hear the sound of click and degaussing and after that connect it back on, then it works fine.

It is couple years old. But it was hardly used. It still has excellent picture quality, lovely colors and very sharp! I would hate to throw it away. I think it has a lot of life in it if it can be fixed.

I have NEC multisync FP912SB monitor that exhibits strange behavior. I wanted to get feedback if it is worth repairing/fixing it.I already have a new monitor and I was planning on giving this old one to charity if it can be fixed easily. Thanks 1. Few minutes after the computer goes into sleep mode, the monitor starts making clicking sounds. The screen still stays blank. 2. When I start my computer, it doesn't turn on, but keeps making the clicking sound. 3. However, it works if I follow the following steps: a. disconnect VGA connector, keep monitor powered on b. start the computer c. wait for a second and then connect VGA connector then it works like a charm. I believe the setting is at 1400x1050 at 70Hz.However, If I wait more than a second before connecting the VGA connector then it doesn't work. It just keeps clicking. Any suggestions would be helpful. I hope it is a simple fix. Thanks.
