Unfortunately, the greyscale 9 or 12" Apple monitor I had fizzled out after 19 years of use. I got a used one from a friend and I used it for a while. Suddenly, one night, it started to make a buzzing noise, similar to a spark gap on a Jacob's Ladder. I turned it off, went to sleep, woke up the next morning, turned it on, and suddenly, I heard a loud snap. I turned off the monitor, unplugged it and threw it in the trash. I hauled in the colour 15 or 17" SVGA monitor and used it ever since.
