This Dell monitor is 16 months old.
It has been having problem for the last month.
At first I thought it was about to die in a big
way. The font was fuzzy, more like a shadow
to the right side of the word.
I was freaking out.
Going online, I see that I am not the only
one with this concern. People were saying
it was probably either the video card or
dust.
First I went to Office Max to get a can of
air. They wanted something like 6 bucks
for air. Give me a break.
I went nextdoor to Target, and couldn’t
find that they had any compressed air,
either in the auto section or in the
electronics section.
Being too cheap to pay 6 dollars, I went
to Walmart which was near by.
They only wanted 4something for the
compressed air. Still a rip off (for air!)
but what can you do.
I came home and vacumed everything around
the computer and tried to suck dust out of the
inside. Then I used the compressed air.
The computer was off, so I cannot say for sure
what contributed to the monitor’s rehabilitation.
Was it being off, was it the dust, who knows.
When I turned the computer back on it all
seemed to be working ok and the shadows
around the monitor letters were gone.
So I am guessing that it is not the video
card at this point.
