[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Intermittent high pitched whine from my Mac II Color monitor?

zeke@shamash.cdc.com (Robert Scott) (09/15/90)

I have a 3 month old Apple color monitor on my Mac II.  Lately, I have
notice periodic episodes of a high pitched whine or squeal coming from
the monitor, usually after it has been on for a while.

Has anybody had an experieces with these symptoms?  Should I expect
a failure soon?  Or possibly should I march the monitor right back
to my dealer for an exchange?

Any suggestions appreciated.
Zeke

I have had the same thing happen several times in the last month. If I shift 
the monitor's weight by picking up the front or back end, it goes away until
I set the monitor back down. Turning it off for a few seconds helped a couple
of times, but not another time. The problem has not recurred in the last two
weeks, though. (It senses fear, just like a mean dog :-)).
