What's that high-pitched squeal from my monitor?
Saturday, 19 August, 2000
My monitor emits a high-pitched squeal. It usually occurs after the monitor has been on some time. It sounds like ringing in the ears, but I am sure that it's not my ears' fault because as soon as I turn the monitor off, it stops. The monitor is a Gateway EV700. Any suggestions before I call Gateway's tech support? Oh, I've also heard it on two other Mitshubishi Diamond monitors.

 You have very good ears -- from memory, that squeal is 18 kHz and comes from the HT transformer core. You shouldn't hear it from a modern monitor with a solid transformer core, but maybe this is an el cheapo. Jan Wikström

mine is an hold or hancient 1996 or so 21" moniter.. Its weighs more than I am comfortable picking up (80 lbs?)
