<I've been having a problem with my RGB monitor for my IIGS...  When I have my
<computer on for a while, and then turn it off by the power switch... the
<monitor doesn't work properly--

Heh!  I have the very same problem.  I was told it was the VGA (Video Graphics
Controller) chip that lives under the power supply.  It always seems to boot
up when it's been sitting all night (cold); but after it's been on; if I do a
cold boot I get the same jagged lines... or worse , nothing at all.

I'm taking mine in (I've lived with this problem for over six months... it's
getting worse).  But luckily, I have Applecare.  BTW, my battery died too...
After 2 l/2 years of constant use...
