Well, I somehow managed to break my working Sony G400 somehow. I had disconnected it to try out an LCD (Viewsonic VX924 by the way) and when I hooked it back up, the weird idea of resetting my CRT back to defaults entered my head.
I disconnected the d-sub cable from my PC, and proceeded to hold the monitor's menu button down. Some grey screen popped up. I then held the left button down for 2 seconds and another greyish screen came up. After about 5 seconds, the monitor went back into "No input signal" mode, but the picture was extremely bright and it had horizonital blue "lines" on them. I've tried everything, and I can't get them to disappear. Not only that, but if I open something pure white (like a blank webpage), the image expands and then shrinks\dulls in color.
What the hell did I end up doing? Is there any way to fix this? Multiple google searches with different key words have come up with nothing. I really don't like LCDs, and there don't seem to be any good 19 inch CRTs left, or at least ones with the same, or better, quality as my G400.
