8/17    Is there a good place in/near Berkeley to go to get my monitor
        fixed?  It doesn't show red anymore.
        \_ Have you tried slapping it around a bit? This is a serious answer;
           often bitch-slapping a monitor on the side helps cure missing
           color. Use as much force as you would use to slap a human, maybe
           somewhat more.
           \_ Quiet Trevor.
        \_ try looking at the pins on the connector cable, sometimes missing
           colors are due to bent/missing pins.
           \_ It was just vapor lock.
        \_ it's very likely to be a problem with the cable and/or connectors.
           there are three wires that carry red/green/blue signals, and the
           red connection must be broken somehwere.  try wiggling the connector
           at both ends (monitor & pc) and make sure they're secure. if that
           doesn't help, try replacing the cable.
