Sony G400 19" Monitor - Loud pop=no work

[Courtland]

I recently got my g400 and when I first turned it on I heard a fairly loud pop, but it worked ok, used it for the rest of the day, a few hours, turned it off over night. I woke up today, turned it on, VERY loud pop, monitor is dead, just funky colors. Has this happened to anyone? I got it from staples so I can easily rma it at no cost, but it just sort of annoys me. I mean is this a commond defect, or something I could of done?

You did nothing wrong. There's obviously something wrong w/it. Don't mess with it anymore and unplug it from the surge protector. The sooner you return it, the less hassle they will give you. Good luck.

I agree, just return it.

Ouch, bad luck!

My G400 has a "loud popping noise" I think when you first turn it in, this is the degaussing of the monitor.

Yeah I think thats normal, this was an extremely loud crack, scared the crap out of my really, I had just woken up, lol.
