On some of the early monitors, and TV's, the high voltage overvoltage
protection consisted of a part that blew.  The part had to be replaced in
order for the monitor to work again.  Now it is just a high voltage
regulator that shuts down and will not start up again until the monitor
gets good and cold.  I have had people who thought their monitor was dead.
I tell them to wait two hours and try again.
