krets Paranoid (IV) Mad Scientist From: Right-dead center Insane since: Nov 2002	posted 04-13-2004 17:07 I've exhausted the possibilities at the Sony website for this one and I thought someone here might have had the same problem: I have a Sony Vaio 19' Trinitron monitor (HMD-A400). Recently it's been clicking off and the light on the front flashes amber instead of a steady green. To get it back on I have to turn the power off for about 15 seconds and then turn it back on. I've noticed that the clicking off happens only when I either maximize a browser window or if I have Photoshop running maximized and then I pull a browser window up in front of it. The Sony knowledge base has nothing about this. I've installed the newest drivers, etc, but it's still happening. Any clues? :::11oh1:::

If you did, toning that down a bit might help. For a while. Otherwise, it sounds like an electronics problem.
