Can anyone explain this? One of my CRT monitors faded to black and would not come back on unless it sat for a day or two. After it came on it would only stay on for a few minutes. However degaussing seems to solve the problem at least for a while. It first happened after TV repairman was working on my Sony Trinitron (about 5 feet away from monitor). My monitor screen (display) jumped and changed colors (almost like when degaussing except more violently). I've had this happen 3 times. Once the monitor comes on, degaussing will keep it working. STRANGE TO ME, I know littlt about magnetic fields.
