We are having a SUN4/260 with color monitor. The monitor had no problem so far. Suddenly since few days, I see a flicker on the monitor that to quite frequently. Can some one suggest remedies for this and probably first aid also. Thanks in advance.

Turns our it was just a bad cable (or cable connection) between the monitor and color board. Try jiggling the RGB cable a few times and see if that effects the flicker. If so, you can probably replace the cable or do like we did...move the cable until the flicker disapears, then try not to move the monitor too much. (It's not that I`m lazy, but the amount of paperwork I'd have to fill out to replace the cable isn't worth the extra effort (notice no smiley face)). Howard C.
