If CRT display failure occurred, which is wiser choice repairing or re-purchasing?
Thank you. :icon28:
(My Trinitron Multiscan CRT display failed and orange signal is continue blinking around the power switch.)

Buy a new one, its new and wont have the possibility of breaking again, as soon anyways.

You mean there are a few places potentially to be broken?
Anyway I bet this is a conspiracy by the manufacturer. :icon33:

I'm pretty sure he means that repairing a monitor is almost never cost effective :icon1:.

But you never know that PC with this display attached contains quite a few OSes such as win98(x2), win98SE, win2k(x2), win2k server, non-activated winXP, non-activated win2k3 enterprise server 15days trial edition and misc unixes(x4). :icon34:
If display is replaced with new one, there should occur quite a few reconfigurations. :icon28:

Well chances are all of the Windows OS' will detect a new monitor just fine. *nix you're going to have to reconfigure though. Have you ever hear of a product called VMWare? It would make running that many images much simpler and far less messy.
As for your monitor, new CRTs are cheap.

@Tom
Thank you for your advice.
It seems I need to surrender to vendor.
As for VMWare it does not help becuase it cannot run q3 as such though VPC 5.1 is installed on some of the win2k to use 3ds max trial edition. :icon34:
