It probably isn't, the usual problem with monitiors is high ESR in the power supply and related capacitors. You need an ESR measuring meter to verify, about a $200 bill for the one I am familiar with, called a Capacitor Wizard by its maker. $20-$40 for replacement caps, and the meter, is still cheaper than $500 to some guy who probably never saw a CET test. I am one of those critters. > One question that I have to ask you to check if you get it running, is > can you check to see what kind of 'dead-reckoning' you get between > linear scale encoder counts?
