Here's a detailed description of the problem:
> ... and when i turned back **YIKES** my monitor was off. i thought it
> was the machine at first but when i played with the caps-lock key the
> light went on and off. i moved my mouse and the screen came on, VERY
> dim and then went off again. the "on" light was off during the entire
> time. i checked the power and data cables to the monitor, but both
> were intact. i tapped the monitor lightly on the side and it came on
> dimly again and then off. i tapped it again, and nothing happened. i
> moved it to the side a bit to see if there were any controls other
> than brightness and contrast, and then it came back on just from me
> moving it. so i didnt touch it afterwards, but there's obviously
> something wrong.
