About two weeks ago, my PC's monitor got busted. For 4 years my PC has never experienced any problems, until that moment when there was a sudden power fluctuation and my PC was switched off. It was past 9 in the morning and I just came from work so I decided not to turn it back on. When I woke up in the afternoon, I was shocked to learn that my monitor had would no longer switch on.
The following day I made calls to some computer shops, asking if they ever do repairs of monitors. Since I had to sleep in the morning, my mother volunteered to bring the monitor to Computer World for me. The afternoon of the following day, my mother got a call from computer world telling her that my monitor was done and the damage was only minor. They charged me P30 for the resistor and P500 for the labor. The wrong thing that my mother did was she volunteered to claim the monitor without telling me coz I was sound asleep. When I woke up, the monitor was already there, but when I turned it on, I was disgusted to see the color produced by my monitor. I could not believe that the technician released the monitor when it was obvious there was a problem with the color. I tried adjusting the color but it was not able to fix it.
The following day I went to the shop, to talk to the technician to ask him if he did not notice there was something wrong with the color of my monitor. He even proudly said that they tested it before releasing it.. well if they tested it, then as a technician he must be aware that the color needs to be fixed. Since there was a 1 month warranty for the job they did, I had to let them do a back job on it.
When I claimed my monitor the day after, I talked to another technician who did the repair for the color and I asked him what happened. He asked me if my speakers were placed near my monitor and I replied yes I have it placed on the sides. He told me not to place it there since the magnet of the speakers can damage the color of the monitor... hmmmm I stopped to think.. then I replied.. but my monitor did not have problems with the color not until I had it repaired here... then he only told me.. just remove your speakers and place them away from your monitor.
That night I went out with a friend and I told her about my pc monitor and that magnet thing, to which she laughed. She told me that they once had their television repaired coz of color problems and she and her husband kept laughing coz the repairman used a magnet to fix it! what??? She even demonstrated how the repairman stroked the magnet in front of their TV several times until the color was back to normal.. now that is quite confusing... which is which? was the technician telling me the truth? hmmmm......
