thanks for your reply,I thought it was a heat related problem also that is why i freeze misted all components but to no avail! i still have not found any components that are breaking down thermaly,you are probably correct in sumising that the monitor has to be repaired by a factory authorised service centre but i thought that i would get lucky and repair this at component level since i don't believe in changing boards unless absoulutely necessary.
