But a friend of mine taught me this and I bought tools to do this.
Keep an ear to the sound--if the noise gets louder, it's getting worse, and you should take it in for 'primitive' repairs, or just buy a new one since the cost of repair shops charge as much as a new one would cost these days.

Righty then, so it is nothing to worry about.. for now. That is good because I just had to falk out a massive repair job on my car engine and don't have much money left :S
I think I'll get a new monitor when I can afford one. *Nice 21-inch monitor appears in my head*  [img]tongue.gif[/img]
