Well uh... our CRT monitor just died overnight...
it's making a high-pitched clicking-ish sound once a second, like it's trying to sync. (It sounds like the sound it makes when it's changing resolutions.)
Anyone got ideas? >,,<

Plugged our CRT monitor back in and it's still having issues :<
but this time I caught it on video
what is this? How concerned should we be? Will using the monitor make it more likely to damage itself in a way that's harder to fix?
New blog post! It's a Samsung CRT TV/VCR that rolled out of the swamp of eBay. Some kids shoved Christmas ornaments in it. And Starburst candies. And a... Pokemon card? That's not what's wrong with it, though!

Now that there are more clubs forming in my local area, I’ve been thinking about taking some of my junk to shows. Of course, this means I’ll need a cheap small colour TV if anyone wants to see that junk work. Maybe something like this inexpensive 13” Samsung CXJ1352? Too bad it won’t stay running.
