hey all, im havin a problem with my monitor, it is a sony g520, and i just carried it over to my neighbors house for a lan. now i turned it on and the screen keeps shaking, its like a wave & shaky picture... it will not stop. the only thing that i could think of that would be affecting the monitor is the fridge, but it is about 10 feet away from it.. I even tried to plug it into its own outlet, but still no luck... could I have dammaged the monitor carrying it over, i never dropped or bumped it though.

please help, asap..

Move it away from the fridge. See if that helps. Is there a power box (ac adapter) near it? Are there any lights near the monitor?

Is is quivering or is there waves going diagonally across the screen? You try a different refresh rate?

You need to put it on a different circuit than any household appliances or large fans (bigger than 12"). It's vibrations in the frequency that are causing the shaking.

How about another monitor near the monitor?

If you're at a LAN, it's quite possible someone else's rig/display is interfering with yours.
